Cavanagh's debut novel introduces a wonderfully flawed hero, Eddie Flynn, one-time con man, now turned lawyer, who will hold you spellbound. This is a hell of a genre-bending book.

I started reading to see what would happen next, but couldn't put the book down because I needed to learn more about con man turned lawyer Eddie Flynn, the smartest man in the courthouse. I was hooked until the last satisfying page." --Alafair Burke, <i>New York Times </i>bestselling author of <i>The Ex</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>STEVE CAVANAGH was born and raised in Belfast before studying law in Dublin.
