Paperback: Thirteen (2018) offers an original twist on the courtroom thriller from the author of The Defence (2015).
The serial killer is not on trial.
He is on the jury.
'To your knowledge, is there anything that would preclude you from serving on this jury?'
Murder was not the hard part. It was just the start of the game.
Joshua Kane has been preparing for this moment his whole life. He has 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.
But there is someone on his tail, ex-conman turned trial attorney Eddie Flynn and he alone suspects that the killer is not the man on trial.
For Kane, time is running out - all he needs is to get to the conviction without being discovered and for Eddie, it is a race against time to get to the killer before the wrong man takes the fall.
Thirteen (2018) is the fourth instalment in the original and ingenious Eddie Flynn legal series and also, the winner of the Theakston Old Peculiar Crime Novel of the Year 2019.
