When David Child, a major client of a corrupt New York law firm, is arrested for murder, the FBI ask con artist-turned-lawyer Eddie Flynn to persuade him to testify against the firm.

With the FBI putting pressure on him to secure the deal, Eddie must find a way to prove his client's innocence. But the stakes are high - his wife is in danger. And not just from the FBI...

Thoughts

I read the first book in the Eddie Flynn series a while back, so it took a minute to remember how it all worked - it’s a fun thriller, although a slightly odd combination of former con artist practicing law whilst trying to manage many threats against himself and his family and not lose his mind along the way. It’s pretty stressful, but a good book with interesting twists along the way.

Rating: 3 / 5
