A MISSING CHILD

When wealthy businessman Leonard Howell's daughter is kidnapped, the police jump on it straight away. But Howell knows this won't be straightforward - he needs someone willing to break the rules.

A CRIMINAL LAWYER

Once a con artist, now a hotshot lawyer, Eddie Flynn's learnt that fast talk and sleight of hand are just as important in the courtroom are they are on the street. Knowing what it's like to lose a daughter, he'll stop at nothing to save Howell's.

A CORRUPT CASE

With a client on trial for his life, and the body count rising, Eddie Flynn is starting to fear that the whole thing was a set-up from the very beginning.

The only question is who is deadlier the man who knows the truth, or the one who believes a lie?

'A missing girl, a desperate father and a case that threatens to destroy everyone involved' - Eddie Flynn's got his work cut out in the thrilling new novel from the author of The Defence.

The Liar is the third book in the Eddie Flynn series by Irish lawyer and author, Steve Cavanagh. Late one night, Eddie Flynn is asked to represent Leonard Howell, a man he knows from his childhood. He knows that Lenny’s 17-year-old daughter, Caroline has been missing for some weeks, but before Eddie can discover for what his services are required, he is served with a subpoena to hand over all documents pertaining to the murder trial of Julie Rosen. The two occurrences seem unrelated, but is it a coincidence?

The shocking events of that night unfold at breakneck speed, ending up with several people injured, an explosion and fire, a large sum of cash gone missing, a kidnap victim still missing and her father charges with her murder. Leonard’s trial, six months on, has plenty of surprises in store for judge, jury and lawyers, including our Eddie.

Cavanagh gives the read an action-packed page-turner. There are clever court scenes, car chases, gunfights, fisticuffs and a good deal of blood. This is a tale with so many twists it should come with a whiplash warning. Tricks, red herrings and disguise, several dramatic climaxes and, yes, quite a lot of lies. Former conman, Eddie Flynn is smart and streetwise and doesn’t hesitate to play dirty if he deems it necessary. Once again, he is helped by his mentor, Judge Harry Ford, and he also gets assistance from a feisty FBI agent. Fans who enjoy this legal thriller will be pleased to know Eddie’s adventures continue in Thirteen: The serial killer isn’t on trial. He’s on the jury.
