The Plea by Steve Cavanagh is a cracking legal novel, sort of Micky Haller with knuckle dusters.
Eddie Flynn is an ex con man turned lawyer. He gets pressured into defending an open and shut murder case by a secretive FBI agent who wants Eddie to convince the defendant to plead guilty. As he looks into the case and meets the defendant Eddie starts to have doubts about his guilt but anything other than a quick guilty plea will put Eddie’s wife at risk.
This is a pacy courtroom page turner with some good twists and turns. Well worth a read, 4/5
