A VERY BAD D.W.I.
“So,” she said, raising herself on to one elbow, just high enough off the bed to reveal a single nipple, still visibly hard. “What do you do for a living, when you’re not busy knocking people down?”
She was Amanda. At least that was as much of a name as he’d gotten out of her over the hour and twenty minutes since he’d literally knocked her to the ground by being overly aggressive with a sticking revolving door at the Forty-Second Street Public Library. Not that all of their time together since that moment had been devoted to small talk, or any other kind of talk, for that matter. Certainly not the last twenty minutes, anyway.
“I’m a lawyer,” said Jaywalker. “Sort of.”
“Sort of?”
“I’m not practicing these days,” he explained.
“What happened?” she asked. “You get burned out?”
“No,” he said, “more like thrown out. I’m serving a three-year suspension.”
“What for?”
“Oh, various things. Cutting corners. Breaking silly rules. Taking risks. Pissing off stupid judges. The usual stuff.”
Thus begins the third installment of the series, in which criminal defense attorney Harrison J. Walker, better known as Jaywalker, comes out of suspension from practice to represent a thoroughly unlikeable defendant on what indeed turns out to be a very bad drunk driving case, in which nine people–eight of them young children–died. The case, set in Rockland County, New York, pits Jaywalker against Abe Firestone, a veteran prosecutor intent on convicting the driver of murder on the theory that he drove so recklessly as to exibit a depraved indifference to human life. Hang on for a bumpy ride with plenty of twists and turns!
