The follow up to THIRTEEN and FIFTY FIFTY: The Devil's Advocate (Eddie Flynn Series)

Product Information

Eddie only has 48 hours to defend Volchek in an impossible murder trial—and win—if he wants to save his daughter. 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? The Devils Advocate is yet another exciting thrilling story involving the wonderful Eddie Flynn and his small team. Each time I start Mr Cavanagh’s latest book I think he can’t do any better than the previous one, every time he proves me wrong, as he certainly did with this tour de force.

Shooting or stabbing someone wasn’t the same for Korn. Too animalistic. Korn killed using the power of his office, and his mind, and his skill. And that gave him more pleasure than he could ever have imagined’

Customer reviews

Faced with physical evidence that’s almost impossible to overcome and a DA who is intent on increasing the number of death penalty cases he’s won, Eddie Flynn has the most difficult case of his career in front of him. Books can change minds, equip us, empower us though. Sadly, Cavanaugh stepped out of his lane (visiting Alabama only, since he lives in Ireland) & chose to take the easy way out & write to caricatures. I really couldn't be more disappointed. 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. But great as he is, Eddie doesn’t work alone and the whole team join him on his excursion. Whilst Harry and Kate are great characters who really hold their own in very testing circumstances, for me Bloch was a bit of a revelation in this book. She might be quiet but she’s still commands attention and her stillness is almost unnerving. It’s nice to see a really strong, but still slightly emotional, female character portrayed so well, and her no-nonsense nature adds a layer of quiet strength to the team. Definitely someone you want on your side.

I will drop any (and every) book for a new Steve Cavanagh. I will read until my eyes are hanging out of my head and I will love every minute of it! So you can imagine my reaction on being chosen as one of the first 100 reviewers to be granted access to the new Eddie Flynn via NetGalley. It went a bit like this 😲😁👏🏻🙌🏻💃🏻🎉 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? Overall, the plotline and story develops well. Eddie and the team, of course get into scrapes but these help push the events along and allows the ever inventive, and frankly clever, Steve Cavanagh to create a number of surprises. This is the celebrity murder trial of the century and the defence want one man on their team: con artist turned lawyer Eddie Flynn.When Eddie meets Child he's convinced the man is innocent, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. With the FBI putting pressure on him to secure the plea, Eddie must find a way to prove Child's innocence while keeping his wife out of danger - not just from the FBI, but from the firm itself. But as usual Eddie never gives up, the court scenes are fantastic, and amongst all these thrills and jaw dropping events we also have humour. Also, the PROLOGUE can be skipped if you want to avoid reading the graphic description of the NINE excruciating minutes it took for one of Korn’s Victims to die by electric chair. 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.

Korn had an unusual distaste for human life in general. He told himself it didn’t really matter what color his victims were. They all screamed and died the same. Yet, the underlying racism of authority in the South was ever present. He’d seen it his whole career. But this was the first time he’d heard it spoken aloud in a more public conversation. This wasn’t a whispered discussion among two conspirators. It was out in the open now. The silence which followed the statement was not uncomfortable. If anything, it felt natural for it to come out in the open now, in these times.” 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 Hot shot New York lawyer Eddie Flynn travels south to fight fire with fire.
