What isn’t alive and well are the many men convicted of crimes, here, by its prosecutor, Randal Korn. Korn had an unusual distaste for human life in general. He told himself it didn’t really matter what color his victims were. They all screamed and died the same. Yet, the underlying racism of authority in the South was ever present. He’d seen it his whole career. But this was the first time he’d heard it spoken aloud in a more public conversation. This wasn’t a whispered discussion among two conspirators. It was out in the open now. The silence which followed the statement was not uncomfortable. If anything, it felt natural for it to come out in the open now, in these times.”

But as usual Eddie never gives up, the court scenes are fantastic, and amongst all these thrills and jaw dropping events we also have humour. Alexandra Avellino has just found her father's mutilated body, and needs the police right away. She believes her sister killed him, and that she is still in the house with a knife. I can honestly say I don't have a clue how Steve Cavanagh can pull these brilliant books out the bag! I mean the man is clearly a genius!! I am loving the team of Eddie, Harry, Kate and Bloch!! Kudos, Mr. Cavanagh, for another great piece. A crowded genre, for sure, but your storytelling abilities help you stand out in the crowd!They call him the King of Death Row. Randal Korn has sent more men to their deaths than any district attorney in the history of the United States.

Yet the unflinching and unorthodox Eddie Flynn doesn’t just take on a seemingly unwinnable case but also chooses to take on the omnipotent power of the DA, the King of Death Row, who has sent more people to the chair than any other DA in America. Because he can. Yes, the devil enjoys it but is he the killer?In what is Eddie's toughest case, he faces a formidable foe in the shape of the powerful District Attorney Randal Korn, a man who goes for the death penalty in all his cases, and his success rate is unsurpassed in the country, he has never lost. The sinister Korn, reeking of death and decay, doesn't care how he wins his cases, by fair means or foul, nor whether the defendant is innocent and he is aided and abetted by the corrupt local law enforcement department, run by Sheriff Colt Lomax. Eddie doesn't go in blind to the dangers he is walking into, Andy's previous lawyer, Cody Warren has gone missing, along with critical evidence that would have proved his client's innocence. Eddie and his team face hostility from locals convinced of Andy's guilt, but there are greater threats, a greater evil and malevolence at play that lies at the heart of why Skylar was murdered. He arrived in town along with his consultant, retired judge, Harry Ford, his new partner, Kate Brooks, and their investigator, Bloch. The Devil’s Advocate is the 6th book in the Eddie Flynn series featuring the ex-con man turned brilliant defense attorney. He, along with his ever-growing team of professionals, are charged with leaving New York City and taking a small-town Alabama courtroom by storm. This is a story that’s designed to get your blood boiling as injustice is piled upon racism flat-out criminal behaviour. It’s yet another stunner that continues to mark the series as one of the best modern legal thriller series out there. When it comes to bad guys, Korn is about as evil as they come, he even gives off a subtle aroma of death and decay. He looms as the ultimate adversary for Flynn and his compatriots. Not only that, it appears he’s got an ally in the form of a man who calls himself The Pastor and it seems he’s as ruthless as Korn and tends to provide help at unexpected moments in this most unorthodox legal thriller. But one of these women is lying. One of them is a murderer. Sitting in a jail cell, about to go on trial with her sister for murder, you might think that this is the last place she expected to be.

Eddie Flynn may have been a thief in his past life, but he is more than making up for it now, serving as a gritty defence attorney. When Flynn is approached by someone with deep connections to the Federal Government, he is intrigued to hear about something happening in Alabama. A fixed-election hoisted Randal Korn into the role of District Attorney, but since taking over, Korn has abused his power and earned the moniker ‘King of Death Row’, as he has ensured numerous people find their way to the electric chair. These convictions are sometimes based on flimsy evidence and the governor seems happy to oblige. Eddie Flynn, also called as the loveee of my life, my role model and all time- fav character really outdid himself in this book😭😭 The way he dealt with pressure and how he planned everything out was I N S A N E. I’m in love with his charm, his personality, his way of getting things done, his brain and him🥵🥵 I will drop any (and every) book for a new Steve Cavanagh. I will read until my eyes are hanging out of my head and I will love every minute of it!
