About this audiobook
"If you're a fan of John Grisham, Scott Turow, and Brad Meltzer, then you will be a fan of Steve Cavanagh's The Defense." —Nelson DeMille, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Radiant Angel
Eddie Flynn used to be a con artist. Then he became a lawyer. Turns out the two aren't that different.
In The Defense, former con artist turned lawyer Eddie Flynn gave up the law a year ago after a disastrous case, and he vowed never to step foot in a courtroom again. But now he doesn't have a choice. The head of the Russian mob in New York City, on trial for murder, has kidnapped Eddie's ten-year-old daughter: Eddie has to take this case whether he likes it or not.
Using his razor-sharp wit and every con, bluff, grift, and trick in the book, Eddie has only forty-eight hours to defend an impossible murder trial. And if he loses this case, he loses everything.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Amazing astonishing and awesome are the best of 3 As to describe his work
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The Defense is not your typical legal thriller, and Eddie Flynn is absolutely not your typical lawyer. This story is edgy and fast-paced, with some twists you won't see coming.
Narration is excellent. Loved it!1 person found this helpful
