Part of Eddie Flynn, book 2
First published 2016
Eddie Flynn faces an impossible choice when the FBI corners him in his office. They want the con artist turned lawyer to take on David Child's murder case, not to defend him but to force a guilty plea that will make Child testify against his corrupt law firm. Flynn refuses until the agents reveal their leverage: incriminating files on his wife. Now Flynn must represent Child while secretly working against him. But as Flynn digs into the evidence, he becomes convinced Child didn't commit murder despite the overwhelming proof of guilt. The FBI demands Flynn secure the plea deal quickly. His wife faces danger from multiple directions. Flynn must find a way to save an innocent man while protecting the woman he loves. Every move he makes puts someone at risk.
