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

Product Information

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? If you want great Southern books by those who are seeking to bring honest looks, yet real characters, all the layers needed, I suggest S.A. Cosby & his recs (I reached out to him to ask)-David Joy, Brian Panowich, Laura Hightower, Alice Walker, Ernest J. Gaines and Deesha Philyaw. Y'all, we have to be brave readers & admit when we want to take a path of least resistance. On tough topics, we need to choose otherwise.

So Eddie and his friend and mentor, former judge Harry Forbes (who now works as a consultant on Eddie’s cases), head to Alabama. It is clear from the start that they are most unwelcome in the town. Neither of the hotels, which have vacancy signs lit, will give them a room. Everyone in the town is convinced of Andy’s guilt. The next day Eddie’s law partner, Kate Brooks, and their investigator, former police officer Bloch, arrive in town. At least they manage to swing some rooms for them. 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. This is the celebrity murder trial of the century and the defence want one man on their team: con artist turned lawyer Eddie Flynn.

Featured Reviews

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.

I devoured this book in a couple of sittings, determined to savour each clever twist and turn. It’s one of those special reads where you desperately want to get to the end but also want to make it last as long as possible. I take my hat off to you Mr Cavanagh, The Devil’s Advocate is your best Eddie Flynn book yet! 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.

Customer reviews

But if he uses this evidence in court, both he and his client - the dead man's widow - will be in mortal danger. With The Devil’s Advocate, we’ve reached book six in Steve Cavanagh’s highly acclaimed series featuring New York-based con man-turned-attorney Eddie Flynn. And hold onto your hats folks, because this time Eddie has left the Big Apple behind! Wow! Author Steve Cavanagh writes excellent legal/crime thrillers and has surpassed himself with this terrific, edge-of-your-seat, powerful, pulse-pounding novel. The fast-paced plot kept me riveted, but it was necessary to take short breaks to catch my breath and find that my heart was pounding. The suspense and tension kept rising at a rapid pace within a malevolent setting. Eddie Flynn, also called as the loveee of my life, my role model and all time- fav character really outdid himself in this book😭😭 The way he dealt with pressure and how he planned everything out was I N S A N E. I’m in love with his charm, his personality, his way of getting things done, his brain and him🥵🥵

Though, this is still a 4⭐️ read, I didn’t enjoy it as much as past work-as Eddie Flynn and his clever cross examinations are what make the series so entertaining! We weren’t in the courtroom nearly long enough for my preferences! the only solace offered is experiencing eddie flynn & team masterfully dominate the courtroom. all of the little traps they laid along the way for the prosecution, the key evidence so expertly gathered and presented, and just knowing they are most likely two steps ahead is so satisfying. getting to see real justice served is such a much needed relief - i just wish it had happened sooner than the 70% mark.

They call him the King of Death Row. Randal Korn has sent more men to their deaths than any district attorney in the history of the United States. He arrived in town along with his consultant, retired judge, Harry Ford, his new partner, Kate Brooks, and their investigator, Bloch. After reading Cavanagh’s additional footnotes and revealing that four judges are currently responsible for 15% of the total number of death sentences in the US. I was intrigued to learn more. When you see something that is not right, not just, not fair, you have a moral obligation to say something.” ive never been so furious with a story before. and i understand that thats the point - books should make you feel something, especially when racism, white supremacy, and police corruption are still such on-going problems to this day. but when a story puts me in an incurable bad mood for hours after finishing the book, is that really a good reading experience?
