    About this series


    Did career criminal Alonzo Barnett, in and out of prison since age fifteen, commit the latest drug deal he's accused of? Yup, he's guilty as charged. But is he guilty as sin? That's the question criminal defence attorney Harrison J. Walker, the maverick known as Jaywalker, has to answer as he takes the court–appointed case.

    As Jaywalker is well aware, one wrong move, even for the right reason, can derail your life – and land an otherwise redeemed ex–con back in the slammer for years.

    Up against a team of prosecutors – one a talented, ethical newcomer, the other a sleazy, tight–fisted veteran – Jaywalker has almost nothing on his side. Except his unshakable belief in his client and the very real possibility of redemption for them both.

      It is the late 1970s and criminal defence attorney Harrison J. Walker, better known as Jaywalker for his rebellious tactics, is struggling to build his own practice when he receives a call from a desperate mother. Her son, Darren Kingston, has been arrested for raping five white women in Castle Hill, an area of the Bronx long forgotten by the city. A young, good–looking black man, Darren is positively identified by four of the victims as the fifth prepares to do the same. Everyone from the prosecution to the community at large sees this as an open–and–shut case with solid eyewitness testimony. Everyone, that is, except Jaywalker. The young attorney looks deep into the crimes, studying both the characters involved and the character of our society. What he finds will haunt him for the rest of his career.

      A sports car, speeding in the wrong lane, forces a van off the road. Bursting into flames, all nine occupants of the van are killed – eight of them children. Criminal defence attorney Harrison J. Walker, known simply as Jaywalker, is trying to keep his nose clean while serving a three–year suspension. But when a woman seduces him into representing the driver, a man who also happens to be her husband, things get messy. Jaywalker tries to stay focused on his goal – limiting the damage to his client by exposing the system's hypocrisy regarding drunk driving. But when he rounds a blind corner in the case, he collides with a truth that could change everything.

    Joseph Teller

    Joseph Teller was born and raised in New York City. He graduated from the College of Wooster in Ohio and the University of Michigan Law School. He returned to New York City, where he spent three years as an agent with the Federal Bureau of Narcotics (the precursor of the Drug Enforcement Administration), doing undercover work. For the next 35 years, he worked as a criminal defense attorney, representing murderers, drug dealers, thieves and at least one serial killer. When New York State restored the death penalty in the nineties, Teller was one of a select group of lawyers given special training to represent capital defendants, which he did on several occasions, including winning an acquittal for a man accused of committing a double murder. Not too long ago, Teller decided to "run from the law," and began writing fiction. He lives and writes in rural upstate New York with his wife, Sandy, an antiques dealer.
