Publisher's 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?

wow

This would have to be one of the best books I have listened to. I have listen to several books by this author and enjoyed the book from start to finish. Plenty of twists, loved the whole story. Every thing in a book you could wish for.

A sad comment on life in America

I was absorbed by the story and so sad at the story line. Excellent narration and I did enjoy the book. Thank you Steve Cavanagh for bringing it to the public. Let’s hope it makes people think.

The best

An amazing book from beginning to end. I didn’t want it to end, there were so many twists and turns that made this book too hard to stop listening. The narrator has done a fabulous job.

Rivetting

For those who like courtroom dramas, this is fantastic. Great story with neat twists and turns, and with witty and hard-hitting dialogue.

The Eddie Flynn Series Keeps Getting Better

Steve has matured greatly as a writer. The first few books in the series were predictable, but enjoyable. The latter ones are far less predictable, and more suspenseful.

Always satisfying

Another Eddie Flynn book that has a winning formula. The storyline is a ripping yarn about a crime with racial background at once requiring the suspension of reality but at the same time sufficiently grounded in detail to be interesting.

If I was critical, it would relate to the neat wrapping up of all issues at the end but the fact is that the ride to that point is enjoyable.

Looking forward to the next Eddie Flynn story, particularly with the growth of other characters around him.

Where to begin

I am a huge fan of Steve Cavanagh books and once I hear Adam Sims voice in narration I cannot stop listening.
Love the Eddy Flynn team of characters I feel like I know them personally. I thought once the story left New York it would loose its appeal. It did not, it was as good if not better than the other books in the series.
