Eddie Flynn Series 5 Books Collection Set (Fifty-Fifty ,Thirteen, The Defence, The Plea & The Liar)
The Defence
It's been over a year since Eddie vowed never to set foot in a courtroom again. But now he doesn't have a choice. Olek Volchek, the infamous head of the Russian mafia in New York, has strapped a bomb to Eddie's back and kidnapped his ten-year-old daughter, Amy. Eddie only has forty-eight hours to defend Volchek in an impossible murder trial - and win - if he wants to save his daughter.
The Plea
When David Child, a major client of a corrupt New York law firm, is arrested for murder, the FBI ask con artist-turned-lawyer Eddie Flynn to persuade him to testify against the firm.
Eddie is not someone who is easily coerced, but when the FBI reveal that they have incriminating files on his wife, he knows he has no choice.
Thirteen
Murder wasn't the hard part. It was just the start of the game.
Joshua Kane has been preparing for this moment his whole life. He's done it before. But this is the big one.
This is the murder trial of the century. And Kane has killed to get the best seat in the house.
The Liar
WHO IS DEADLIER ... Leonard Howell's worst nightmare has come true: his daughter Caroline has been kidnapped. Not content with relying on the cops, Howell calls the only man he trusts to get her back.
THE MAN WHO KNOWS THE TRUTH ... Eddie Flynn knows what it's like to lose a daughter and vows to bring Caroline home safe. Once a con artist, now a hotshot criminal attorney, Flynn is no stranger to the shady New York underworld.
Fifty-Fifty
'911 what's your emergency?'
'My dad's dead. My sister Sofia killed him. She's still in the house. Please send help.'
'My dad's dead. My sister Alexandra killed him. She's still in the house. Please send help.'
One of them is a liar and a killer.
But which one?

Steve Cavanagh’s Fifty Fifty is the kind of thriller that grabs you by the collar, shoves you into a courtroom, and doesn’t let go until the final gavel drop. Two sisters, one dead father, and a legal battle where both claim the other is the murderer—this book is a masterclass in deception.
Cavanagh’s signature fast pacing keeps the pages flying, and the alternating perspectives (including one from the real killer) create a psychological game of cat and mouse. Eddie Flynn is back in action, and as usual, he’s a defense attorney you actually want on your side—sharp, relentless, and just a little bit morally flexible.
The best part? The guessing game. I had my suspicions, I made my predictions, and I was still second-guessing myself up until the big reveal. If you love legal thrillers packed with tension, sharp dialogue, and enough plot twists to make your head spin, Fifty Fifty is an absolute must-read.
Final verdict? Guilty of being unputdownable.
I received an ARC from NetGalley and Atria Books in exchange for an honest review.

Two sisters. Two 911 calls. One murdered father. But which sister is the killer? What a twisted story this is. This legal thriller pulls you through one shocking twist after another.Classic Steve Cavanaugh! With his courtroom dramas, you’re never quite sure what to expect, and you find yourself questioning everything you thought you knew. The deeper you get, the more the story unravels, right up until the final closing argument.
Another gripping entry in the Eddie Flynn series, but also perfect as a standalone read.
