'An absolute page turner' SHARI LAPENA
'A fantastic thriller writer' MARK BILLINGHAM

Elly Parker had everything.
Perfect husband. Perfect apartment. Perfect friends and the perfect job.
As an internet celebrity - famed for her random acts of kindness - everyone knew it.
So when a betrayal causes her to lose it all, millions of people are watching.

But even at her lowest, Elly will always help someone in need.
Which makes her the perfect target for a sadistic game.
Because as she soon learns, you can never trust a stranger - and a seemingly random encounter plunges her into a nightmare worse than she ever imagined.

The only person she can turn to is conman turned trial lawyer Eddie Flynn, who must take on a case where nothing is what it seems. With the most cruelly ingenious mind manipulating events from the shadows, everyone is in danger - including Eddie and his family.

Two Kinds of Strangers by Steve Cavanagh is the kind of courtroom drama that makes you feel wildly underqualified to ever sit on a jury. Eddie Flynn is the lawyer you absolutely want representing you, even if his tactics occasionally make you think, “Is that allowed?” or “Should someone be stopping him?” Morally questionable? Maybe. Effective? Extremely.

The courtroom scenes are pure entertainment. Twists fly, arguments snap back and forth, and every legal showdown feels like a verbal cage match where Flynn somehow always lands the final punch. It’s tense, clever, and extremely entertaining . A great read, a lot of fun, and proof that courtroom drama is never boring when Eddie Flynn is involved. Definitely recommend

“Two Kinds of Strangers” by Steve Cavanagh is another outstanding Eddie Flynn thriller that delivers nonstop tension. Packed with deception, danger, and twists, this story kept me completely hooked from start to finish. Eddie Flynn once again proves why he’s such a compelling character as the stakes rise and nothing is as it seems. A fast-paced, gripping read that thriller fans won’t want to miss.
