The Pelican Brief
A killer’s sneakers whisper across the floor of a fancy home in suburban Georgetown. Far away, in a gay movie theater in Washington, D.C., a patron is strangled to death. The breaking news across America the next day is the shocking assassination of two of the country’s Supreme Court Justices.

Darby Shaw, a young law student in New Orleans, drafts a legal brief. To her, it’s just a brilliant guess, but in the corridors of power at the Washington establishment, it’s considered political dynamite. Soon, she finds herself a witness to a murder that was actually intended for her.

Going into hiding, she realizes that there’s just one trustworthy person—an ambitious reporter. The reporter is the only person who can help Darby fit the pieces of the deadly jigsaw puzzle. A violent cover-up is being staged between Louisiana and the inner sanctums of the White House. Someone has stumbled upon Darby’s shot-in-the-dark legal brief and will stop at nothing to destroy the evidence of this heinous crime and preserve the secrets of The Pelican Brief.

Published in 1992, the film adaptation of The Pelican Brief was released the following year, starring Julia Roberts and Denzel Washington as the main protagonists.
