The Devil's Advocate: The Sunday Times Bestseller (Eddie Flynn Series)

Product Information

Flynn feels that with the corrupt, malignant atmosphere surrounding the trial, his onerous duty is to win the case, free Andy, and find the real killer. Now he knows he must also destroy Korn, even if he must resort to skills he learned as a con artist. When it comes to bad guys, Korn is about as evil as they come, he even gives off a subtle aroma of death and decay. He looms as the ultimate adversary for Flynn and his compatriots. Not only that, it appears he’s got an ally in the form of a man who calls himself The Pastor and it seems he’s as ruthless as Korn and tends to provide help at unexpected moments in this most unorthodox legal thriller. They were Hollywood's hottest power couple. They had the world at their feet. Now one of them is dead and Hollywood star Robert Solomon is charged with the brutal murder of his beautiful wife. Eddie Flynn used to be a con artist. Then he became a lawyer. Turned out the two weren't that different. Meanwhile Eddie’s predecessor, the local defense attorney, has disappeared and Eddie has to dig deep to keep himself and his team safe from the constant threat of menace that lingers everywhere.

Another memorable case which is sure to be a winner amongst fans of the series. It kept the tension, the outrage and the fear high from start to finish. About the Author When you see something that is not right, not just, not fair, you have a moral obligation to say something.” I can honestly say I don't have a clue how Steve Cavanagh can pull these brilliant books out the bag! I mean the man is clearly a genius!! I am loving the team of Eddie, Harry, Kate and Bloch!! one thing is for sure - this book is compelling. i didnt find it as entertaining as some of the previous books in the series (this one is much more of a downer, imo), but it sure is eye opening. Kudos, Mr. Cavanagh, for another great piece. A crowded genre, for sure, but your storytelling abilities help you stand out in the crowd!Many thanks to Net Galley, Orion Publishing Group, and the author for a chance to read and review this book. All opinions are expressed voluntarily. Skylar Edwards, a promising young woman, has been brutally murdered and her co-worker Andy Dubois is accused of the crime. It doesn't seem to matter that his confession was coerced or that there are questionable witnesses. The evidence against Andy seems a bit too convenient but is tough to overcome. DA Randal Korn feels he has another death row sentence all sown up. How can Andy get a fair trial when everyone is convinced that he's guilty?

This is Steve Cavanagh at his best😌(not me saying this every time he releases a new book BUT ITS TRUE!) I can always trust on Steve to bring something new and unique with his new releases everytime. Steve is one of my favourite all-time authors and probably at the top of my list when it comes to mystery/crime thriller genre. There’s just something about the way he writes, his wit, his delivery which makes me wanna worship the ground he walks on.

Skylar Edwards is found murdered and Andy Dubois is arrested for her murder. The DA for the County has the highest death penalty convictions in America.....because he gets a thrill from watching people be executed. He doesn't care if they are innocent, infact he will bribe everyone and anyone to lie and tamper with evidence to make sure he gets a guilty verdict!! Can Eddie and his team save Andy Dubois? Yet the unflinching and unorthodox Eddie Flynn doesn’t just take on a seemingly unwinnable case but also chooses to take on the omnipotent power of the DA, the King of Death Row, who has sent more people to the chair than any other DA in America. Because he can. Yes, the devil enjoys it but is he the killer? What made this an even better crime thriller, in this fascinating series, are the heavy themes of capital punishment and racism that takes place in the setting of the small town that often feels impenetrable. This is the celebrity murder trial of the century and the defence want one man on their team: con artist turned lawyer Eddie Flynn. Eddie and his small team take a case away from their home turf in Alabama. The case looks bleak as their defendant is charged with murdering a young woman. The sentence being sought by the District Attorney is death by electric chair. The odds of securing a not guilty verdict look very difficult indeed given the evidence in play.

I kid you not, I literally jumped for joy when I was chosen as one of the hundred to receive a netgalley arc for this book! So thank you so much to netgalley, the publisher and Steve Cavanagh!Thank you to Steve Cavanagh, the publishers and Netgalley for an ARC, in exchange for an honest review. This book shows Steve Cavanagh's growth as a writer and his passion to write about the death penalty, corruption, white supremacy, and how innocent men and women can be sent to jail and to death. Frightening stuff and very difficult to read at times.
