On November 22 several "BC in DC" members took a trip to the Book Thing in Baltimore to stock up on books. This book was chosen from there. I hope that I can release it soon!

From the back cover:

In suburban Georgetown a killer's Reeboks whisper on the 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 polital 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 bigger 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.

I read a different copy of this book in May 2007 and here are the comments that I had at that time.

This book was quite interesting in the conspiracy theory sort of way. I thought that the chase scenes where Darby is running for her life were interesting as the bad guys were always on her heels.

The problem that I had with this book was that it took a little bit too long to get to the point sometimes. There was just too much details in some spots and not enough action. This book could have lost a chase scene or two and cut out a hundred pages and still been as good.

John Grisham is an exciting writer and I am enjoying reading his collection of works.
