Harrison J. Walker–Jaywalker, to the world–is a frayed-at-the-edges defense attorney with a ninety-percent acquittal rate, thanks to an obsessive streak a mile wide. But winning this case will take more than just dedication.Seventeen-year-old Jeremy Estrada killed another boy after a fight over a girl: shot him point-blank between the eyes. No one disputes those facts. This kid is jammed up big-time, but almost unable to help himself. He's got the face of an angel but can hardly string together three words to explain what happened that day…yet he's determined to go to trial.All they've got is a «yesbut» defense, as in: «Did you kill him?» «Yes, but…» Jaywalker is accustomed to bending the rules–this case will stretch the law to the breaking point and beyond.
