Synopsis

'One of the most purely entertaining books you'll read this year. It's a blast' JOHN CONNOLLY
'A fantastic thriller writer' MARK BILLINGHAM

FRAUD. BLACKMAIL. MURDER.
IT'S ALL IN A DAY'S WORK FOR EDDIE FLYNN.

When David Child, a major client of a corrupt New York law firm, is arrested for murder, the FBI ask con artist-turned-lawyer Eddie Flynn to secure the case and force him to testify against the firm.

Eddie is not someone who is easily coerced, but when the FBI reveal that they have incriminating files on his wife, he knows he has no choice.

But Eddie is convinced the man is innocent, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. With the FBI putting pressure on him to secure the deal, Eddie must find a way to prove his client's innocence.

But the stakes are high - his wife is in danger. And not just from the FBI . . .
