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...

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.
