description: Two supreme court justices are dead. Their murders are connected only in one mind, and in one legal brief conceived by that mind. New Orleans legal student Darby Shaw little realises that her speculative brief will cause shockwaves that will see her boyfriend murdered, send hired killers to hunt her down and propel her across the country to meet the one man, investigative reporter Gary Grantham, who is as near the truth as she is.
