Steve Cavanagh Knihy

Pravda nemá v soudní síni místo. Na pravdě u soudu nezáleží. Záleží pouze na tom, co může dokázat obžaloba. Právník Eddie Flynn býval podvodníkem. Ukázalo se, že se tyto dva světy od sebe příliš neliší. Téměř před rokem Eddie přísahal, že už nikdy nevstoupí do soudní síně. Jenže teď nemá na vybranou. Olek Volchek, nechvalně proslulý šéf ruské mafie působící v New Yorku, nechá Eddiemu na záda připevnit bombu a unese jeho desetiletou dceru Amy. Eddie má pouze osmačtyřicet hodin na to, aby Volcheka obhájil a vyhrál proces k případu vraždy, pokud chce zachránit svoji dceru. Záhy začíná tušit, že se stal jen určitým článkem v mnohem větší hře, i když její logiku nechápe. V Eddieho životě je jen málo lidí, kterým může důvěřovat a požádat je o pomoc. Musí použít svůj břitký důvtip a všechny podvodnické triky, aby obhájil svého „klienta“ a dostal Amy do bezpečí. Dokáže přesvědčit porotu o nemožném, když mu na zádech tiká časovač? Pokud tento případ prohraje, přijde o všechno.

Když je jeden z nejdůležitějších klientů zkorumpované newyorkské právnické firmy zatčený za vraždu, FBI požádá Eddieho Flynna, aby ho přiměl proti této firmě svědčit. Eddie sice nepatří mezi ty, kteří se nechají k čemukoli snadno donutit, ale když mu FBI oznámí, že vlastní inkriminující složku, v níž jsou důkazy svědčící proti jeho manželce, ví, že nemá na výběr. Jenže Eddie je skálopevně přesvědčený, že je ten muž nevinný, a to nehledě na zdrcující důkazy, které svědčí o naprostém opaku. Ale v sázce je opravdu hodně – jeho ženě totiž hrozí velké nebezpečí, a to nejen ze strany FBI.

Amanda ví, kdo zabil její šestiletou dceru a policie s tím nedělá vůbec nic. Když se jedné temné noci náhodně setká v newyorském baru s neznámou ženou, zjistí, že mají mnoho společného. Zejména osamělost a intenzivní touhu po pomstě mužům, kteří zničili jejich rodiny. Během noční rozmluvy vymyslí dokonalý plán: „Ty zabiješ pro mě a já zabiju pro tebe.“ Žádné stopy. Žádné spojení mezi vrahem a obětí. Dokonalé vraždy. Ale ve světě, kde hranice mezi obětí a pachatelem mizí, platí jediné. Když se rozhodnete zabíjet, není cesty zpět. Psychologický thriller inspirovaný Hitchcockem, který vypráví příběh dvou obyčejných žen, které uzavřou nebezpečnou dohodu, že se navzájem pomstí za své utrpení.

Thirteen is the legal thriller Lee Child, Michael Connelly, and Ruth Ware are raving about and readers can’t put down. “Outstanding - an intriguing premise, a tense, gripping build-up, and a spectacular climax. This guy is the real deal. Trust me.” —Lee Child “A dead bang BEAST of a book that expertly combines Cavanagh’s authority on the law with an absolutely great thrill ride. Books this ingenious don’t come along very often.” —Michael Connelly It’s the murder trial of the century. And Joshua Kane has killed to get the best seat in the house – and to be sure the wrong man goes down for the crime. Because this time, the killer isn’t on trial. He’s on the jury. But there’s someone on his tail. Former-conman-turned-criminal-defense-attorney Eddie Flynn doesn’t believe that his movie-star client killed two people. He suspects that the real killer is closer than they think – but who would guess just how close? “A brilliant, twisty, ingeniously constructed puzzle of a book. Steve Cavanagh pulls off an enviable premise with panache.” —Ruth Ware
