Description: In suburban Georgetown a killer's Reeboks
whisper on the front floor of a posh home... In a seedy D.c.
porno house a patron is swiftly garroted to death... The next day
America learns that two of its Supreme Court justices have been
assassinated. And in New Orleans, a young law student prepares a
legal brief... To Darby Shaw it was no more than a legal shot in
the dark, a brilliant guess. To the Washington establishment it
was political dynamite. Suddenly Darby is witness to a murder --
a murder intended for her. Going underground, she finds there is
only one person she can trust -- an ambitious reporter after a
newsbreak hotter than Watergate -- to help her piece together the
deadly puzzle. Somewhere between the bayous of Louisiana and the
White House's inner sanctums, a violent cover-up is being
engineered. For somone has read Darby's brief. Someone who will
stop at nothing to destroy the evidence of an unthinkable crime.
