Overkill

"I love the dry wit of Teller's work. Nelson Demille meets Turow or Grisham!"— Goodreads review of Overkill A Jaywalker Case: Book 5 (originally published in 2011) It may be a case even Jaywalker can't win. There's no question that seventeen-year-oldJeremy Estrada shot another boy point-blank blank between the eyes after a fight over agirl. Not only that, Jeremy may have the face of an angel but he can barely string threewords together, much less explain—to Jaywalker or a jury—what happened that day. Andyet, despite all those handicaps, he's determined to go to trial. Jaywalker has spent his entire career bending the rules, but he's always had something towork with. This time all he has is a "yesbut" defense: "Did you kill him?" "Yes, but..." Inorder to win he'll have to stretch the law to the breaking point and beyond, but even thatmay not be enough.
