HE'S WON EVERY TRIAL. BECAUSE HE'S BEHIND EVERY MURDER.

Ambitious District Attorney Randal Korn lives to watch prisoners executed.
Even if they are not guilty.

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.

The one thing Korn didn't count on was Eddie Flynn.

Slick, street smart and cunning, the former con artist turned New York lawyer has only seven days to save an innocent man against a corrupt system and find the real killer.

In a week the Judge will read the verdict, but will Eddie be alive to hear it?

Critic reviews

A great read! Top notch thrills and court room drama!

Addictive, unpredictable and timely (with a truly explosive conclusion). For me, Steve Cavanagh is the new John Grisham. Excellent.

Gripping, twisty and smart.

I couldn't put it down ... I envy people who haven't had the chance to read Steve Cavanagh's Eddie Flynn series. it's like a binge worthy box-set in book form.

With THE DEVILS ADVOCATE Steve Cavanagh resoundingly reaffirms what mystery fans worldwide already know. He is one of the best thriller writers working today. THE DEVIL'S ADVOCATE bristles with dramatic courtroom tension, suspense, intrigue and more twists and turns than a moonlit country road. Not to be missed.

A blinder of a book. Classic Eddie. All the noir you've come to expect and a plot and a half! That guy just gets better and better.

This is high octane court drama & I loved every heart-racing, nail-biting page of it.

Hands down the best book I've read this year. Pacy, clever, steeped in historical accuracy. There's room for wit too. What. A. Ride.

Steve Cavanagh is a world-class talent. Make this your next read. The Devil's Advocate is another blistering case from Steve Cavanagh's outstanding Eddie Flynn series. Tense, timely and brimming with hard boiled justice, The Devil's Advocate is a thoroughly gripping thriller. Highly recommended.

Previous books in the Eddie Flynn series have won the Gold Dagger Award and The Theakstons Crime Novel of the Year Award, incredibly, however, The Devils Advocate might well be the best novel in the series so far. As usual Eddie is funny, resourceful and smart but in this one he meets his most villainous and intelligent opponent yet. Steve Cavanagh's take on the American system of criminal justice is both biting satire and exciting thriller a combo that makes Devils Advocate the beach read of the summer of 2021.

This is Cavanagh's best yet ... I'm obsessed with Eddie Flynn and this is a masterpiece.

The undisputed king of the courtroom drama.

Steve Cavanagh now has the same hotshot literary agent (Shane Salerno) as Don Winslow. Not bad for a boy from Belfast. His latest thriller may flirt with the far-fetched, but if you read the first eight pages you'll be hooked. The Devil's Advocate makes your palms sweat and your blood run cold; the terrific trial scenes out-Grisham John Grisham. Meanwhile, in the 21st century, in the land of the free, the death penalty remains a reality.

Cavanagh is a genius... page-turning stuff

A great book by a great author.

Really Good. Love it!

I’ve read Thirteen and Fifty Fifty and I think this book is the best so far. Love the socio-political issues interwoven into this action crime thriller story. I also find the voice actor really good. Even though he was just one actor acting out so many characters he tried to make each one sound different and I had no difficulty distinguishing which character is which. My only criticism is that I was disappointed when I found out who The Pastor really was and I kinda felt there were no breadcrumbs leading to the revelation of his identity.

Captivating

Another hard but simply captivating and nail biting novel superbly performed by Simms. Could not stop listening

*****

👍👍👍👍 Great story. Interesting characters. Suspense. What else do you need! Definitely a great thriller and I will listen to the other books for sure.

My opinion on the novel

There are a lot of books I’ve read on Audible and I normally look for suspense and mystery arguments. The Devil’s Advocate has been one of the books I’ve liked most. I didn’t know the author and now I’m very pleased I’ve come to know him. The narrator is outstanding and makes you live each character. Now I look forward to find more books of Cavanagh.

Cavanagh keeps getting better

I'm really impressed how good Steve Cavanagh is as a writer. This one is another win.
