Kudos, Mr. Cavanagh, as you push the limits and do so well at challenging all I thought I knew about legal thrillers. This is the celebrity murder trial of the century and the defence want one man on their team: con artist turned lawyer Eddie Flynn. Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy November 2009". International Reading Association. doi: 10.1598/JAAL.53.3.6. [ permanent dead link]There is plenty of action, and lots of twists and turns. I had a zillion questions bouncing around in my brain as I read...who? how? why? what? how? how? how? And they were all answered. Adam Sims did a remarkable job of bringing a unique voice to both of these incredible male characters. He completely drew me in with his stellar narration of this compelling story!

So what happens when you find you have a rogue juror!? One whose own agenda takes precedence over the actual evidence being presented? Perhaps even more disturbing…that juror is a serial killer!Celebrity Movie Star Robert Soloman has been convicted of murdering his wife Ariella Bloom and her lover, though he swears he’s innocent. Thank you to NetGalley, Flatiron Books and Steve Cavanaugh for an arc of this novel in exchange for an honest review. I’m not going to lie, I pre-judged this. I made an ass out of myself to myself, because I assumed... certain things. Out of honesty, I’ll admit I was expecting this to be somewhat juvenile. My only real criticism is that the two narrators’ voices were mostly indistinguishable. Both used the same phrases, including the same incorrect grammar. That is only thing I can think of that would have improved this book for me. The opening chapter of Th1rt3en goes straight in there and brings us our first encounter with Joshua Kane. A scruffy, homeless guy begging outside the Criminal Courts Building in Manhattan. The guy shows patience, intelligence and a calculated coldness of a hit man. But Kane is not a hit man. We learn that he is on a mission. His mission. For his own form of justice. The whole purpose of Kane’s first ‘incident’ in the book is so that he can guarantee himself a place on the jury of a specific murder trial.

The book features Clay and Hannah as the primary narrators of the book while the series is told from multiple perspectives to present in-depth details of each character. [34] Thirdly? I've discovered that the four letter "f" word that ends in k (f**k) is apparently Richard K. Morgan's favorite word in the entire English language. He uses it as a noun, a verb, an adjective, an adverb... a participle...sometimes a dangling participle. It just depends on whether he uses the four letter word unadorned or maybe he changes it by adding an "s", or an "ed", or an "er" or maybe an "ing". Of course sometimes he just adds a second word such as "face" or "head" then it becomes a prefix. I'm not sure it was ever a suffix, but I wouldn't bet against it. Now while I give credit to Mr. Morgan for his versatility with the word in question I think he might profit from expanding his "use vocabulary". Just a thought. They were Hollywood's hottest power couple. They had the world at their feet. Now one of them is dead and Hollywood star Robert Solomon is charged with the brutal murder of his beautiful wife.

Retrieved March 26, 2017.I really don't want to say too much more about the plot, just that it's twisty and turny, and certainly has the wow-factor that a good legal thriller needs. Yet it's so much more than that. I really enjoyed the characters, as well as the action in and out of the courtroom and I'll certainly be on the lookout for more of Steve Cavanagh's work in the future. I can't recommend this book highly enough.

I'm a huge fan of courtroom dramas and legal thrillers and this one did not disappoint. A celebrity named Robert Soloman is charged with murder and goes on trial, but his lawyer, Eddie Flynn sees that somethings just don't add up. Okay, Eddie is Brilliant!! I very much believe that this book is a top contender for book of the year 2018. A subtle underlying tone of a tale of the American dream, combined with the very cold matter of a fate worse than death. The book included clever court room politics, and a spine tingling point of view from the perpetrator. Alongside classic, thought provoking and original story telling. As a crime fiction lover, I am more than pleasantly pleased that Steve Cavanagh has more novels out there, and that I will get to meet Eddie Flynn again. a b Kettley, Sebastian (2017-04-26).

The premise for this book was absolutely ingenious! A typical murder trial is getting underway. Did I say typical? Only if you think that having a certified serial killer on the jury is normal! It was a dark and stormy night. Lightning flashed and thunder rolled across the sky. Rain spattered a mysterious, hooded stranger who peered over the hedgerow at the darkened, quiet house.”
