Resumen del Editor

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 news break 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 someone has read Darby's brief. Someone who will stop at nothing to destroy the evidence of an unthinkable crime.

Featured Article: The Essential John Grisham in Audio


John Grisham is best known for his fast-paced legal thrillers and mysteries, many of which have been adapted for television and film. Because he’s so prolific and has been writing for decades, it can be difficult to know where to begin when selecting a title from his impressive back catalog. And Grisham is definitely a jack-of-all-trades: he’s written not only legal thrillers, but nonfiction, a series for kids, some humorous novels, and recently, a new mystery series outside of the legal thriller genre. To help you decide which Grisham gem to download next, we’ve compiled a list of the very best.

Poorly Abridged

After listening to Grisham's unabridged titles on Audible, this one is a little disappointing. The book is comparatively hard to follow, with characters easily confused or not developed - presumably due to the abridged nature of the text. I'd recommend this only for Grisham fans who've run through everything else.
Capably narrated, though by a different narrator than any of the other Grisham books.

Great story with annoying breaks

I love this book. But the musical breaks kill momentum faster than thinking about Grandma during sex.

Darby Shaw Is a great Investigator...

I have been listening to the same book for years, The Pelican Brief. I just enjoy hearing the story lines, over, and over again. Right now my tapes are worn out. So I'm replacing them with Audible. oh my god the audio goes on forever. I fell asleep, and when I woke up we were In Chapter 6. So I just picked up there. Thank you!!!

Books are better than movies

I really enjoyed this book. They movie was great too. But while remodeling a home this is something that you can get lost in.

I didn't realize it was abridged... disappointed

The story itself is great, and I would love to listen to the full, unabridged story. However, I should have checked before I bought this. I felt like I never could keep up with what was going on in the story. I really wish audible had the unabridged version!! Now I understand why I couldn't grasp the key points of the story.

The narrator is good, however, I prefer the classic Michael Beck narrations.

Overall it's fine for what it is -- an abridged version of the novel. If that's what you're looking for, great!

Perfect for the big screen

Following the storyline was challenging with the ever changing scenes and characters. Sets the audience up for an enjoyable movie experience.

Grisham never seems to strike out

I read this story years ago and I'd say the GRISHAM novels hold there own.

Political intrigue

Good fare from Grisham, probably not his best but he met all my expectations and whilst maybe not a page turner, a good read well narrated.

Why abridged?

I decided to go back through all the Grisham books since I have a long commute now. I was dismayed to see abridged recordings but thought ok I’ll try it. Disappointing! Why hack up a great book?

Good story

The music inserted at the beginning and end of chapters is odd. I hope this is not a trend for future Audible selections.
