***THE GRIPPING FIRST THRILLER IN THE MULTI-MILLION COPY SELLING SERIES*** **'Everything a great thriller should be ' MARK BILLINGHAM 'Steve Cavanagh's twists hit you between the eyes. You never see them coming' ANTHONY HOROWITZ 'The British John Grisham' RICHARD OSMAN TO SAVE HIS DAUGHTER...HE MUST HELP A KILLER WALK FREE. 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? IN A BROKEN JUSTICE SYSTEM, YOU DON'T NEED A GOOD LAWYER. YOU NEED A DAMN GOOD CONMAN...MEET EDDIE FLYNN.

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.'
