The Defense: A Novel (Eddie Flynn, 1)

"If you're a fan of John Grisham, Scott Turow, and Brad Meltzer, then you will be a fan of Steve Cavanagh's The Defense." Nelson DeMille, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Radiant Angel

Eddie Flynn used to be a con artist. Then he became a lawyer. Turns out the two jobs aren’t all that different ...

He vowed never to set foot in a courtroom again after a case gone disastrously wrong. But today Eddie doesn’t have a choice. Because this time, it’s personal.

The head of the Russian mob in New York City, on trial for murder, has kidnapped Eddie’s beloved ten-year-old daughter. Now Eddie has exactly forty-eight hours to draw upon his razor-sharp instincts and use every con, bluff, grift, and trick in the book to defend an impossible trial and save his daughter—or die trying. . .

"A rush of double-crosses, switched detonators, mob maneuvering, and some savvy lawyering. Cavanagh keeps things hopping.”—Dallas Morning News

This edition of the book is the deluxe, tall rack mass market paperback.

Kinda slow at first and then predictably complicated. Fun characters as always, might take me awhile to get through the rest of the series but I will
