A seven-day fight against a rigged case

An innocent man faces execution for the murder of a young girl, while ambitious District Attorney Randal Korn has arranged the case to secure a quick conviction. Eddie Flynn, a former con artist turned New York lawyer, has seven days to challenge the prosecution, expose the corruption surrounding it, and identify the real killer. The setup brings courtroom suspense together with a race against a fixed deadline, placing the threat of wrongful conviction alongside the danger facing the lawyer who intervenes. The central conflict is less about an ordinary contest between opposing legal teams than about whether justice can be pursued inside a system Korn has manipulated.

Book overview

This high-octane legal thriller from the internationally bestselling author of Kill for Me, Kill for You will "make your palms sweat and your blood run cold" (The Times, London) as it follows a highly successful lawyer who is hiding a deadly secret. He's won every trial...because he's behind every murder. Ambitious District Attorney Randal Korn lives to watch prisoners executed. Even if they are not guilty. An innocent man, Andy Dubois, faces the death penalty for the murder of young girl. Korn has already fixed things to make sure he wins a fast conviction. The one thing Korn didn't count on was Eddie Flynn. Slick, street smart, and cunning, the former con artist and now New York lawyer has only seven days to save an innocent man against a corrupt system and find the real killer. In a week the judge will read the verdict, but will Eddie be alive to hear it?
