Books like The tenth case by Joseph Teller

Jaywalker, a criminal defense attorney famed for his unorthodox courtroom tactics, faces suspension after a controversial case involving a client charged with prostitution. The judge grants him a last opportunity to try ten cases, setting high stakes. The final case tests his skill most severely: a billionaire’s reported heart attack following a stabbing. The victim’s wife, Samara—young, bold, and once a former prostitute—appears guilty, yet Jaywalker senses deeper deceit. He must investigate whether Samara was framed, who else could have killed the billionaire, and how his own reputation intertwines with the client’s gratitude. With New York’s justice system as backdrop, Jaywalker navigates a web of crime, romance, and legal intrigue to protect his client’s future and maintain his flawless acquittal record.
