Setting:

It is based in Southhaven in the year 1990

Plot( Sequence of events):

The story begins with the assassination of two United States Supreme Court justices by a serial killer and an inactive terrorist, and the authorities have been unable to find any evidence leading to the killer. Darby Shaw is a law student at the university. Analyzes, there may be a connection between the two judges. The judges who were murdered have a history of support for conservation. Darby sees the file, which becomes known as the ‘Pelican File’, of her romantically linked professor, Thomas Callahan,The director of the Bureau of Investigation told them that his agents were investigating Mattis and killed Kamel when he wanted to kill Darby Shaw.

Main idea:

Two Judges were killed by an unknown terrorist (Khamil), and the intelligence was unable to identify the killer, but there is a university student (Darby Shaw) that solved the case by some evidence and ends up finds the killer alone.

My opinion:

In my opinion, the university student, Darby Shaw, should be hired as an investigator in the intelligence without any examination because she was able to solve the case without knowing the methods used to find the killer, and also because the intelligence services were not able to find the killer.
