'A fantastic thriller writer' MARK BILLINGHAM
FRAUD. BLACKMAIL. MURDER.
IT'S ALL IN A DAY'S WORK FOR EDDIE FLYNN.

When David Child, a major client of a corrupt New York law firm, is arrested for murder, the FBI ask con artist-turned-lawyer Eddie Flynn to secure the case and force him to testify against the firm.

Eddie is not someone who is easily coerced, but when the FBI reveal that they have incriminating files on his wife, he knows he has no choice.

But Eddie is convinced the man is innocent, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. With the FBI putting pressure on him to secure the deal, Eddie must find a way to prove his client's innocence.

But the stakes are high - his wife is in danger. And not just from the FBI . . .

Industry Reviews

'One of the most purely entertaining books you'll read this year. It's a blast' - John Connolly

'Steve is a fantastic thriller writer' - Mark Billingham

A gripping, twisty thriller

THE PLEA is one of the most purely entertaining books you'll read this year. It's a blast

THE DEFENCE is everything a great thriller should be and I can't wait to see more of Eddie Flynn

Lively, clever and enjoyable . . . Cavanagh writes vividly about American injustice . . . The constant action is interrupted only by absorbing courtroom scenes - THE TIMES

Part classic courtroom drama in the John Grisham tradition and part Bruce Willis-like action hero fiction straight out of the DIE HARD franchise, this is a rip-roaring action-packed and highly entertaining debut - IRISH INDEPENDENT

Reads a lot like a courtroom drama that Lee Child might write about Jack Reacher's younger, hotter-headed brother - IRISH TIMES
