5.0
Steve Cavanagh is the best legal thriller author and I won’t be told otherwise!
This is the latest book in Steve Cavanagh’s legal thriller series about our favourite ex-con man turned New York lawyer, Eddie Flynn.
I’m sure everyone is sick of hearing me talk about how much I’ve loved this series (admittedly the newest ones over the older ones but, they’re all good!!) I was a bit skeptical going into this one because I’ve loved Thirteen, Twisted and Fifty Fifty so much I wasn’t sure this would live up to the standard. But I had NOTHING to be worried about!
This story follows Eddie and his team, which are actually more of an extremely close family, to a small town in America. There they are defending a young black man who’s been framed by the people of power in the town. If they lose, Andy will be sent to death row.
The book is faced paced, chilling, twisty, brilliantly written and just simply amazing!! My only tiny critique would be I feel the ending felt a little bit rushed, but that’s probably because I didn’t want it to end!!
Whenever I’ve finished one of Steve Cavanagh’s books I get the worst book hangover.
Synopsis from the book cover:
“A deadly prosecutor;
They call him king of death row. Randal Korn has sent more men to their deaths than any district attorney in the history of the United States.
A twisted ritualistic killing;
When a young woman, Skylar Edwards is found murdered in Buckstown Alabama, a corrupt sheriff arrests the last person to see her alive, Andy Dubios. It doesn’t seem to matter to anyone that Andy is innocent.
A small town boiling with rage;
Everyone in Buckstown believes Andy is guilty. He has no hope of a fair trial. And the local defence attorney assigned to represent him has disappeared.
A former con-artist;
Hot shot New York lawyer Eddie Flynn travels south to fight fire with fire. He plans to destroy the prosecutors case, find the killer and save Andy from the electric chair.
But the murders are just the beginning
Is Eddie Flynn next?”

i would give 4.5 stars, because it was a bit slow and didnt really start progressing until after halfway through but in the end i was pleasantly surprised.
really educated me on white supremacy in “justice”
