The Pelican Brief

Author: John Grisham

Darby Shaw, a brilliant law student, stumbles upon a conspiracy that reaches the highest levels of government. Her brief on the murders of two Supreme Court justices catches the attention of powerful forces, thrusting her into a dangerous game of cat and mouse. With the help of an investigative journalist, Darby races against time to uncover the truth and stay alive. Grisham’s trademark suspense and legal intrigue shine in this gripping tale of corruption, courage, and the pursuit of justice.

Justice is served only when the law is blind to color, race, and creed.
