Part of Eddie Flynn, book 6

Randal Korn has built his career on death sentences. The prosecutor has sent more people to the electric chair than any other district attorney in America, and he takes pleasure watching executions unfold. His latest target is Andy Dubois, a young Black man accused of killing a white girl. Korn has already arranged for the swiftest possible trial. He expects another easy victory. But New York attorney Eddie Flynn arrives to defend Andy, and Flynn discovers something darker than a simple murder case. The justice system itself has been corrupted. Flynn has exactly seven days to prove Andy's innocence and identify the real killer before the verdict comes down. Time runs out fast when powerful enemies want you silenced. Flynn must stay alive long enough to save an innocent man from a system rigged against him.
