Product Information

All the evidence points to Robert's guilt, but as the trial begins a series of sinister incidents in the court room start to raise doubts in Eddie's mind. 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. Shooting or stabbing someone wasn’t the same for Korn. Too animalistic. Korn killed using the power of his office, and his mind, and his skill. And that gave him more pleasure than he could ever have imagined’

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.In just a few meaty chapters, Cavanagh has set the scene for an intriguing, and utterly engrossing, narrative – and it just gets better and better. As the drama develops, so the tension ratchets up too. Don’t expect to see much of your bed until you’ve reached the final full stop of this one. one thing is for sure - this book is compelling. i didnt find it as entertaining as some of the previous books in the series (this one is much more of a downer, imo), but it sure is eye opening. He arrived in town along with his consultant, retired judge, Harry Ford, his new partner, Kate Brooks, and their investigator, Bloch.

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! 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. Eddie only has 48 hours to defend Volchek in an impossible murder trial—and win—if he wants to save his daughter. Yet the unflinching and unorthodox Eddie Flynn doesn’t just take on a seemingly unwinnable case but also chooses to take on the omnipotent power of the DA, the King of Death Row, who has sent more people to the chair than any other DA in America. Because he can. Yes, the devil enjoys it but is he the killer?Steve Cavanagh has written another Eddie Flynn story that provides a believable plot with a variety of characters who have many facets and needs. These characters, helped along with some pointers and events from the author that keep America's current and historic racial troubles in view, give a cross spectrum of small-town life through the eyes of financially struggling families and businesses where close-knit (or everyone knows everyone's business) community and big personalities rub along within Mobile county, Alabama. When it comes to bad guys, Korn is about as evil as they come, he even gives off a subtle aroma of death and decay. He looms as the ultimate adversary for Flynn and his compatriots. Not only that, it appears he’s got an ally in the form of a man who calls himself The Pastor and it seems he’s as ruthless as Korn and tends to provide help at unexpected moments in this most unorthodox legal thriller. I love the characters and in this one Kate, Harry and Bloch are much more evident, there’s less Eddie in the courtroom and although it’s great they have a larger role it’s the courtroom and Eddies performances I enjoy. If I’m honest as it builds to the end it feels as if it falls way too easily almost toppling like a row of dominoes. I do enjoy it but not as much as the last two which were five star reads. 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.

Meanwhile Eddie’s predecessor, the local defense attorney, has disappeared and Eddie has to dig deep to keep himself and his team safe from the constant threat of menace that lingers everywhere. Many thanks to Net Galley, Orion Publishing Group, and the author for a chance to read and review this book. All opinions are expressed voluntarily. Some facts… More white people are on death row than any other race or ethnic profile, more white people kill white people than any other race. A few states account for over 50% of the total number of people on death row. 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🥵🥵Eddie has to take on a case that seems impossible to win, with DNA evidence, a witness, jury tampering and even his and his teams lives threatened. Alexandra Avellino has just found her father's mutilated body, and needs the police right away. She believes her sister killed him, and that she is still in the house with a knife.

This is Steve Cavanagh at his best😌(not me saying this every time he releases a new book BUT ITS TRUE!) I can always trust on Steve to bring something new and unique with his new releases everytime. Steve is one of my favourite all-time authors and probably at the top of my list when it comes to mystery/crime thriller genre. There’s just something about the way he writes, his wit, his delivery which makes me wanna worship the ground he walks on. I can honestly say I don't have a clue how Steve Cavanagh can pull these brilliant books out the bag! I mean the man is clearly a genius!! I am loving the team of Eddie, Harry, Kate and Bloch!! Also, the PROLOGUE can be skipped if you want to avoid reading the graphic description of the NINE excruciating minutes it took for one of Korn’s Victims to die by electric chair. 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? The Devil's Advocate makes your palms sweat and your blood run cold; the terrific trial scenes out-Grisham John Grisham.' The Times

It was on this basis that I researched the real extent of capital punishment, the profile of the killers and their victims, and the states most likely to pass a death sentence. Blimey I was enlightened. 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. The Devil’s Advocate makes your palms sweat and your blood run cold; the terrific trial scenes out-Grisham John Grisham.’ The Times Eddie and his small team take a case away from their home turf in Alabama. The case looks bleak as their defendant is charged with murdering a young woman. The sentence being sought by the District Attorney is death by electric chair. The odds of securing a not guilty verdict look very difficult indeed given the evidence in play.
