In the first of a series, Steve Cavanagh shows the length a father will go to to save his daughter:
I have been wanting to start this series for a long time and this is the second book that I have read by Cavanagh. This book starts off with a bang (almost literally) and does not stop. It is a shorter book so Cavanagh does not waste any time getting right into the story.
This book is really fast pace and does not slow down for a minute. Whether Eddie is in the courtroom trying to get a mob boss off for murder or in the "downtime" outside of the courtroom where he is trying to find to thwart the circumstance he has found himself in you wont want to put this book down. I enjoyed trying to figure everything out with Eddie from the evidence that he is reviewing the files for the trial, to trying to find his daughter, the bomb and what was really going on with the Mob. Cavanagh tackles all of this in this book but it never felt overwhelming or too much for the book, he was able to seamlessly put it all together.
If you don't want Eddie Flynn as your lawyer you should give your head a shake. I loved his ability to take his life experiences on the other side of the law and apply them to tactics as a lawyer. Eddie is smart, capable, manipulative, adaptive and able to think on his feet like no other. Plus he has a heart, especially for his daughter and how he got into his predicament in this book.
I don't think there are many courtroom procedural books that are written these day and i hope that the trend flows back that way as when done right they can have just as much mystery and thrills as police procedural ones.
I really enjoyed this book and I am look forward to reading the next book in this series.
