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.
