He’s won every trial. Because he’s behind every murder.
In the heart of the American South, an innocent young man named Andy Dubois sits on death row, convicted of a young woman’s murder. The ambitious and ruthless District Attorney, Randal Korn, has a spotless record for sending people to the electric chair, and he’s not about to let an outsider interfere with his legacy.
Enter Eddie Flynn, the sharp-witted, former con artist turned New York lawyer, who arrives in a small Alabama town seething with prejudice and corruption. With the clock ticking and the odds stacked against him, Eddie knows this isn’t a fair fight. Korn has rigged the system, and the odds are against them. The local defense attorney has mysteriously disappeared, the townsfolk are hostile, and the truth seems buried beneath layers of deceit.
As Eddie and his team, including his brilliant partner Kate and tenacious investigator Bloch, work to uncover the truth, they realize the stakes are higher than they ever imagined. The murders are just beginning, and Eddie finds himself directly in the crosshairs of a powerful and evil conspiracy.
Acclaimed as “the undisputed king of the courtroom drama”, Steve Cavanagh delivers his most explosive Eddie Flynn novel yet. The Devil’s Advocate is a breathtakingly fast-paced legal thriller that forces its characters to confront difficult moral questions. It will keep you on the edge of your seat until the final, shocking page.
