About this ebook
From the Top Five Sunday Times bestselling author, a gripping novella featuring the unforgettable Eddie Flynn.
'Steve Cavanagh's twists hit you between the eyes. You never see them coming' ANTHONY HOROWITZ
'This guy is the real deal. Trust me' LEE CHILD
'An absolute page turner' SHARI LAPENA
'A fantastic thriller writer' MARK BILLINGHAM
Eddie Flynn, ex con-artist-turned-defense attorney, has an impossible choice to make.
His client, the widow of a man who died in a confrontation with a police officer, is seeking justice for her husband. The victim himself was accused of killing a man in a robbery gone wrong outside the St. Regis Hotel - his widow swears it's not true, and the story's not adding up to Flynn, either. But with his small and scrappy law firm on the brink of financial collapse, taking this to trial and losing could put them under for good.
As Flynn digs deeper into the case, a complex web of deceit and corruption begins to emerge with farther-reaching implications than he ever imagined. After a whirlwind twenty-four hours chasing leads all throughout New York City, it all comes down to the cross-examination: will he risk his life to expose the truth?

Finally got to read The Cross!!! I hate that I couldn't get it on paperback as I love keeping my books on my shelf.. Ive read majority of the Eddie flynn series and I've been very impressed with Steve Cavanagh's writing. Im totally inlove with his work. This book kept me swiping my screen i smashed it in less than a day! I noticed at the end of this book and the start of The Defence, Eddie Flynn mentions his Ted Berkley case... im dying for Steve to write a book about this case. I know we already know what happens in the end of the case but it would be amazing to experience the full depth of the court case, rhe case that nearly made him stop his career as a lawyer. Keep up the excellent work Steve 😁

Really enjoyed this short story, perfect opening to the main character and the style of the authors writing. Will definitely be buying the defence, the first novel.
