About this audiobook
"This guys is the real deal. Trust me." — Lee Child
From crime writer Steve Cavanagh comes another gripping audiobook featuring lawyer Eddie Flynn. This is the legal thriller listeners have been waiting for.
An innocent client. A wife in jeopardy. A locked room mystery. Who will take The Plea?
Billionaire David Child swears he didn’t murder his girlfriend, Clara. But the evidence overwhelmingly shows that David killed her: the security video showed no one else entering their apartment, the murder weapon was in his car, and he was covered in gunshot residue he can’t explain.
The FBI believes David’s arrest and obvious guilt could help them take down a huge money laundering scheme - if they can get him to testify.
Con-artist-turned-lawyer Eddie Flynn is given the job: persuade David to plead guilty and give the agents the evidence they need. If Eddie can’t get David to take a plea bargain, the FBI has incriminating files on Eddie’s wife – and will send her to jail. But David insists that he didn’t murder anyone.
As the FBI pressures Eddie to secure the guilty plea, Eddie becomes increasingly convinced that David is telling the truth. With adversaries threatening, Eddie has to find a way to prove David’s innocence and find out if there’s any way he might have been framed. But the stakes are high: Eddie’s wife is in danger. And not just from the FBI…

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5If you thought book one was good, book two is even better (IMO). "You can't hustle a hustler." Eddie, my man!! Here's a guy who would do ANYTHING for his family. A jack of all trades, a lawyer who knows a guy that knows a guy. If you're into Crooked lawyers/cops, mafia/cartel situations, bad cop/good cop and courtroom action, then this series is for you.
