District Attorney Randal Korn has never lost a case sent to trial, and has sent more men to death row than any prosecutor in the state. When a young man is charged with the brutal murder of a girl, Korn is determined to secure a swift conviction and another execution, regardless of the shaky evidence stacked against a frightened, innocent defendant. Enter Eddie Flynn: a former con man turned New York defence attorney who has built a career out of reading people, spotting lies and fighting dirty when the system itself is rigged. Flynn travels south to help with the defence, only to discover a town gripped by fear, a justice system bent to one man's will, and a killer still walking free. With just seven days before the trial begins, Flynn must untangle manipulated evidence, intimidated witnesses and small-town secrets, all while facing a prosecutor who will stop at nothing to win. Cavanagh's blend of sharp plotting, courtroom sparring and relentless pace makes this one of the most acclaimed entries in the Eddie Flynn series, praised for its authenticity and nerve-shredding tension.
