Summary

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?

Another great read/listen

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 Fantastic Eddie Flynn Novel

I really love Steve Cavanaghs writing, and Eddie Flynn. This is another excellent book in the series that kept me gripped and guessing until the end. Strongly recommend- but read the rest in the series first!

Listened at every opportunity…

Thoroughly enjoyed this book and positivity rattled through it. The story is really interesting with some clever twists and the narration was excellent, possibly the best I’ve heard…

Complex fast paced thriller

Steve Cavanagh never disappoints and this offering featuring crim turned attorney, Eddie Flynn is superb. The characters are so well drawn and in this tale, set in the Deep South, he really draws out the odious race issues that influence day to day life. Divisions and prejudice run deep and this time, the life of a young black boy is on the line as he’s banged up for murder of a white girl with old sparky beckoning. It’s his toughest case…

Cavanagh has mastered the art of sleight of hand writing; he leads the reader or listener down a path and the reveal is a real jaw dropper. He does it so well and I actually gasped, more than once as the story took a totally unexpected turn. This is top notch thriller writing; truly superb and the narration in this audio title is outstanding throughout.

An edge of your seat thrill ride

This is the best Flynn book to date, an edge if your seat thrill ride from the word go.
