I really enjoyed Joseph Teller's third novel in the Jaywalker series. This can be read as a stand alone book to see if you like his writing style but it's so much better if you read them in order. Mr. Teller has created a very interesting character in Harrison J. Walker better known as Jaywalker. He's a lawyer that's not afraid to push and sometimes even cross boundaries. Joseph Teller takes what appears to be a cut and dry drunk driving murder charge and turn it into a fascinating study of some...more

Another winner from Joseph Teller who has a lock on fictional legal cynicism as far as I’m concerned.
Jaywalker is still on suspension when is is approached (a term here I use very loosely) by Amanda Drake whose estranged husband, Clarke, has been arrested on murder charges. It seems he got smashed and drove his speeding Audi into a van of Jewish children on their way to some event. The van rolled down the hill, burst into flames, and incinerated everyone inside.

DEPRAVED INDIFFERENCE is my second excursion into the legal terrain created by Joseph Teller. INDIFFERENCE finds us once again exploring the ins and outs of the legal system as seen through the eyes of Tellers protagonist Harrison J. Walker (aka Jaywalker).
Jaywalker is a lawyer whose license has been temporarily suspended. He is as cynical as they come when it comes to life in general and the American justice system in particular, and it seems that for all his ranting and righteous...more

An engrossing and cerebral look at the double standard and sometimes malfunctioning theory of justice and how difficult it is find the genuine "truth and justice. I loved the thought provoking imagery and insights. Joseph Teller has become one of my new favorite storytellers.
The accident caused by a drunk driver takes the lives of 8 young children and their driver. A very smart lawyer defends him in court. Very well written. Lots of twists and turns.
My first Jaywalker book and didn't like, at first. It grew on me. Jaywalker is kinda skeevy in that he sleeps with the wife of his client. The client/husband was on trial for driving drunk and causing the horrible deaths of children in a school van. The author/Jaywalker brings up some interesting points about the law and drunk drivers. Ending is a surprise and I ended up liking the book and Jaywalker.
