About this listen

He’s won every trial. Because he’s behind every murder.

Ambitious District Attorney Randal Korn lives to watch prisoners executed.

Even if they are not guilty.

An innocent man, Andy Dubois, faces the death penalty for the murder of young girl. Korn has already fixed things to make sure he wins a fast conviction.

The one thing Korn didn't count on was Eddie Flynn.

Slick, street-smart and cunning, the former con artist turned New York lawyer has only seven days to save an innocent man against a corrupt system and find the real killer.

In a week the Judge will read the verdict, but will Eddie be alive to hear it?

Excellent. I love these characters. Eddie has definitely developed throughout the series but I think they have all integrated well into the narrative. Adam Sims, excellent as ever. Miss them already!

The plot was sound and the characters solid.
Steve has written a plot based on some real facts and has spun a storyline around them that's totally conceivable.
I really enjoyed this book and the narration by Adam Sims is just superb, breathing life intothecharacters.
I am looking forward to another in this series, if Steve writes more.

Another great read/listen

I enjoy fiction books that tackle real issues in our modern world. However, even though I have given this book Five Stars, I struggled to listen to it, as found the issues presented here far too disturbing.

Excellent but a difficult listen

amazing story from the first chapter and twists and turns all the way. superb

Compulsive listening - un-pausable

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Good to have a new instalment but not a subtle book.
With action moving to the Deep South, racism and small town politics are front and centre, leaving little room for the usual shenanigans in the courtroom.
Action and clever tech is all well and good but I hope the next book has more of the deft legal sparring - these scenes are the USP of the series.
But it is a fascinating and terrifying peek into an American mindset last seen in the storming of the Capitol.

America is a scary place
