Attorney Harrison J. Walker, known simply as Jaywalker, has
just about finished serving his three-year suspension when
he is tapped to represent a man arrested for vehicular
homicide. The client, Carter Drake III, is accused of
running a van full of school children off the road while
intoxicated. Eight young children and the driver of the van
are dead, and a witness got Drake's plate number as he fled
the scene.
The case is open-and-shut and the odds for an acquittal
aren't in Jaywalker's favor. When a drunk kills eight kids
you can bet the public will be screaming for someone's
head, but Carter Drake isn't about to lose his. A master
manipulator, it's Drake who has the ace up his sleeve and
when he pulls it out, it threatens to blow what should be a
straightforward case right out of the water. It looks like
justice in Rockland County might be hoodwinked by a rich
man who is willing to use his own family to cover up his
depraved indifference.
A real page-turner with a surprising, but satisfying,
conclusion, DEPRAVED INDIFFERENCE offers up revenge as a
dish best served cold.
An Audi sports car, speeding on the wrong side of the
road, forces an oncoming van off the road. The van bursts
into flames, killing all nine occupants ...eight of them
children.
Criminal defense 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 Audi Assassin, a
man who also happens to be her husband, things get
messy.
Struggling with the moral issues surrounding this
case, Jaywalker tries to stay focused on his goal limiting
the damage to his client by exposing the legal system s
hypocrisy regarding drunk driving. But when he rounds a
blind corner in the case, he collides with a truth that
could turn his entire defense into disaster.
