The Defense (Eddie Flynn, #1)

by Steve Cavanagh

"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 aren't that different.

Former con artist turned lawyer Eddie Flynn gave up the law a year ago after a disastrous case, and he vowed never to step foot in a courtroom again. But now he doesn't have a choice. The head of the Russian mob in New York City, on trial for murder, has kidnapped Eddie's ten-year-old daughter: Eddie has to take this case whether he likes it or not.

Using his razor-sharp wit and every con, bluff, grift, and trick in the book, Eddie has only forty-eight hours to defend an impossible murder trial. And if he loses this case, he loses everything.

I started this series with Thirteen and loved it so much I decided to go back to the beginning. The Defense is a very different sort of book. Eddie has experience a trauma and left the law. The Russian Bratva forces him back in. You see him as both the lawyer and the con man. There is tons of danger and deception, but its not a creepy as 13 was because there is no killer. So, the story has a different tone. I enjoyed it and am looking forward to book 2!
