"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 jobs aren’t all that different. . .

He vowed never to set foot in a courtroom again after a case gone disastrously wrong. But today Eddie doesn’t have a choice. Because this time, it’s personal.

The head of the Russian mob in New York City, on trial for murder, has kidnapped Eddie’s beloved ten-year-old daughter. Now Eddie has exactly forty-eight hours to draw upon his razor-sharp instincts and use every con, bluff, grift, and trick in the book to defend an impossible trial and save his daughter—or die trying. . .

“a rush of double-crosses, switched detonators, mob maneuvering,
and some savvy lawyering. Cavanagh keeps things hopping.”
—Dallas Morning News

“Everything a reader could ask for in a thriller—nail-biting suspense, a Russian nesting doll of a plot, and an original and compelling lead.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
This edition of the book is the deluxe, tall rack mass market paperback.

Críticas

"Cavanagh's stellar debut provides everything a reader could ask for in a thriller--nail-biting suspense, a Russian nesting doll of a plot, and an original and compelling lead." --Publishers Weekly, starred review

"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. 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 hope Cavanagh's working on the sequel." --Nelson DeMille, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Radiant Angel

"This is a super, break-neck book."
--Charlaine Harris, #1 New York Times bestselling author

"Steve Cavanagh's The Defense puts the 'thrill' back in 'legal thriller.' Non-stop action, unexpected and totally cool plot twists, a sympathetic genius of a con-man/attorney, and a clock that never ever ever stops ticking -- this isn't narrative drive, it's rocket-like narrative propulsion! Hop aboard and enjoy the ride!" --John Lescroart, New York Times bestselling author of The Fall and the Dismas Hardy series

"A fresh approach...A rush of double-crosses...and some savvy lawyering. Cavanagh keeps things hopping and writes a fine action scene."
--The Dallas Morning News

"Reads a lot like a courtroom drama that Lee Child might write about Jack Reacher's younger, hotter-headed brother." --Irish Times

"Part classic courtroom drama in the John Grisham tradition and part Bruce Willis-like action hero fiction straight out of the Die Hard franchise, this is a rip-roaring action-packed and highly entertaining debut." --Irish Independent

"The Defense is the best kind of legal thriller, proving that the real drama takes place outside of the courtroom, in the head and the heart. 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, New York Times bestselling author of The Ex

Nail-biter, Beginning to End

Revisado en los Estados Unidos el 17 de julio de 2022

Wow! If you could squish a courtroom drama written by John Grisham and a thriller by David Baldacci together, you get Steve Cavanagh’s “The Defense” (2015, 381 pages in paperback). “The Defense” is Cavanagh’s debut novel, and it’s a blockbuster. Publishers Weekly’s starred review states, “Everything a reader could ask for in a thriller — a nail-biting suspense, a Russian nesting doll of a plot, and an original and compelling lead.”
Cavanagh’s protagonist is a con-artist and hustler turned lawyer, but there doesn’t seem to be much difference in the professions, at least as far as Eddie Flynn is concerned. And in this story, both his early background as a grifter and his current talents as an attorney are needed to deal with a tense situation that gets more nerve-wracking as the plot develops.
The story opens with Eddie being kidnapped by the Russian mob, headed by the most unsavory of characters who have already kidnapped his 10-year-old daughter Amy. Not only is Eddie in the hands of the head of the Russian mafia, he’s also forced to wear an exploding jacket, defend the mob boss against a murder rap, and smuggle the jacket into the courthouse so that it can be placed under the witness chair where it will be detonated to kill a mob member who is scheduled to testify for the prosecution. Oh, and if he doesn’t do exactly as he’s told, his daughter Amy will be killed. As Russian mafia boss Volchek tells Eddie, “It just takes a phone call.”
Eddie’s major concern, of course, is protecting his daughter from the Russian monsters. But his every attempt to secure her safety is met with some sort of stumbling block. However, he has two aces in the hole. One is his boyhood friend who is now head of the local Italian Mafia, and the other is an esteemed judge with armed service fighting experience.
Volcheck, who has never had reason to question the devotion of his men, isn’t aware that Witness X isn’t the only member of the mob who has plans for the Bratva (brotherhood). And, as if this three-way pressure on Eddie isn’t enough, the FBI has him in its crosshairs as a terrorist.
Aside from the tense drama and action, a major highlight of the book is Eddie’s manipulation of the court, the prosecution, witnesses, and his abductors. Our protagonist is in constant panic mode, yet he manages to out-maneuver whoever stands between him and his goal. But time is a constant enemy. The mob and the court each has its own schedule, and so does his daughter’s life.
This is a tightly-written book with a great plot, interesting characters, and a twist every few pages. It’s one of those unbelievable tales that the author somehow makes us believe. It’s also one of those books that make it easy to root for the good guy without ambiguity. Cavanagh’s second book is The Plea, and I’ve got it on order.

Offen gestanden, hatte ich wenig Erwartungen an das Buch und den Autor, der mir unbekannt war.
Ich habe es soeben zu Ende gelesen und bin noch angespannt :-). Es ist super und so spannend. Immer, wenn ich beim Lesen dachte, für den Helden gibt es jetzt keinen Ausweg, rettete er sich aus der Situation intelligent und clever. Wahrlich ein Page-Turner. Teil 2 der Eddie Flynn Reihe wird nun bestellt.

Great mix of thriller and courtroom drama

Revisado en Reino Unido el 24 de octubre de 2022

Compra verificada

I started reading the Eddie Flynn books when Thirteen was on offer on Kindle, and then 50/50 too. They are both superb, both in concept and execution, so I thought I’d go back to the start.

The Defence is an excellent mix of thriller, action and courtroom drama. It’s almost a bit Die Hard in its concept and action (with all the elements of ‘suspension of disbelief’ that this requires!), but at the same time adds a dose of realism through the courtroom scenes, where the author’s legal expertise shine through.

Eddie is a loveable rogue of a character, an ex conman turned genius lawyer, he’s the sort of mate you’d love to have but wouldn’t ever want to upset! Others have said that the introduction of his back story into this at key points of the central story of the novel was annoying or am distracting, but I found it interesting - elements from his past are hinted at repeatedly and then finally revealed and it gives motivation and expiation to the character which carries through into the later novels. It’s exactly how you would expect a tv show or film to do it.

The other central characters are also great in their own way too, some of whom return in later books. Whether it’s Eddie’s mafia boss childhood friend, the remorseless vicious Russian Mobsters, judges, or the staff in and around the courts, everyone has their part to play and are built up well.

I also really like the way that you can imagine Eddie talking like both a wisecracking, street smart Italian or also as a sort of hardened film noir character! It works either way (even though the former is more accurate)

The story mixes some great action, an intriguing premise, some pretty nasty violence in a wide variety of ways and some cracking dialogue. I’m genuinely surprised it hasn’t been snapped up by Hollywood

I often find it hard to review books without inadvertently giving spoilers away, so won’t say too much, but if you like a bit of Lee Child with a sprinkle of John Grisham, this is for you
