THE TENTH CASE
Joseph Teller
HE'S ALWAYS TRUSTED HIS CLIENTS
UNTIL THE LAST ONE
Criminal defense attorney Harrison J. Walker, better known as Jaywalker, has just been suspended for using ?creative? tactics and receiving ?gratitude? in the courtroom stairwell from a client charged with prostitution. Convincing the judge that his other clients are counting on him, Jaywalker is allowed to complete ten cases. But it's the last case that truly tests his abilities– and his acquittal record.
Samara Moss– young, petite and sexy as hell– stabbed her husband in the heart. Or so everyone believes. Having married the elderly billionaire when she was an eighteen year–old former prostitute, Samara appears to be the clich?d gold digger. But Jaywalker knows all too well that appearances can be deceiving.
Who else could have killed the billionaire? Has Samara been framed? Or is Jaywalker just driven by his need to win his clients' cases and this particular client's undying gratitude?
