Synopsis

"I love the dry wit of Teller's work. Nelson Demille meets Turow or Grisham!" —Goodreads review of Overkill

A Jaywalker Case: Book 1 (originally published in 2008)

Skirting the rules is his stock in trade, but this time criminal defense attorney Harrison J. Walker has gone too far and earned himself a suspension. Before his enforced vacation, he gets permission to clear his ten ongoing cases, and the tenth case will test everything he knows about winning.

Samara Moss is the poster child for gold-diggers everywhere. She married an elderly billionaire when she was an eighteen-year-old ex-prostitute, and now she’s stabbed him in the heart. Or has she? Jaywalker’s not so sure. But is his determination to exonerate her driven by moral certainty, his driving need to win – or his desire for this particular client’s undying gratitude?

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Sometimes justice is more important than the law. Criminal defence lawyer Harrison J. Walker, better known as Jaywalker, has been suspended for his unorthodox and highly creative tactics in the courtroom. Convincing the judge that his clients are counting on him, Jaywalker is allowed to complete just ten more cases. But it's the last case that truly tests his abilities - and his acquittal record. Samara Ross is accused of stabbing her husband through the heart. Having married the elderly billionaire when she was just eighteen, Samara looks guilty as hell. But Jaywalker knows all to well that appearances can be very deceiving. This fantastic new thriller is the winner of the 2009 Nero Award.

Revue de presse

'Cracking legal thriller'. --Scott Pack

'Captivating first installment of the Jaywalker series... Teller's richly suspenseful story will leave the reader eagerly anticipating the denouement.' --Publishers Weekly

'This is a gripping courtroom drama, and the reason it is so is because it is well-paced, engrossing and you really don't know to the very end how it is going to turn out out...I rate it so highly that I would have to say that The Tenth Case is as good as Grisham's best. It really is that good and I'm very glad that I read it.' --The Book Bag
