Eddie Flynn has 48 hours to save his daughter...

Eddie Flynn used to be a con artist. Then he became a lawyer.


Turned out the two weren't that different.

It's been over a year since Eddie vowed never to set foot in a
courtroom again. But now he doesn't have a choice. Olek Volchek,
the infamous head of the Russian mafia in New York, has strapped a
bomb to Eddie's back and kidnapped his ten-year-old daughter,
Amy. Eddie only has forty-eight hours to defend Volchek in an
impossible murder trial - and win - if he wants to save his daughter.

Under the scrutiny of the media and the FBI, Eddie must use his
razor-sharp wit and every con-artist trick in the book to defend his
'client' and ensure Amy's safety. With the timer on his back ticking
away, can Eddie convince the jury of the impossible?

Praise for race-against-time legal thriller writer, Steve Cavanagh:

'A gripping, twisty thriller' Ian Rankin, number 1 bestselling author


of Rather Be The Devil

'Legal thrillers are my blind spot, but I'll always make an exception
for Steve Cavanagh. Quite simply, THE PLEA is one of the most
purely entertaining books you'll read this year. It's a blast.' John
Connolly, bestselling author of the Charlie Parker series

'In the crowded field of legal thrillers, Steve Cavanagh stands head
and shoulders above the competition, with his skilfully plotted,
action-packed and big-hearted Eddie Flynn novels . . . highly
intelligent, twist-laden and absolutely unputdownable' Eva Dolan,
author of the critically acclaimed Tell No Tales

'A cleverly constructed legal thriller combined with a classic locked-


room mystery. Eddie Flynn is fast becoming one of my favourite
fictional heroes and Cavanagh one of my favourite thriller writers.'
S.J.I. Holliday, author of Black Wood

'Raymond Chandler could have created Eddie Flynn. THE PLEA is


Phillip Marlowe and Michael Connolly's Mickey Haller combined,
with a bit of Jim Thompson's THE GRIFTERS thrown in. A superb
read with a main character destined to be one of the most talked
about in crime fiction.' Howard Linskey, author of The Search
