STEVE CAVANAGH was born and raised in Belfast before studying law in Dublin. He practices civil rights law and has been involved in several high profile cases; in 2010 Steve represented a factory worker who won the largest award of damages for race discrimination in Northern Ireland's legal history. Steve is married with two young children. The Defense is his first novel.
"Cavanagh's stellar debut provides everything a reader could ask
for in a thriller--nail-biting suspense, a Russian nesting doll of
a plot, and an original and compelling lead." --Publishers
Weekly, starred review"If you're a fan of John
Grisham, Scott Turow, and Brad Meltzer, then you will be a fan of
Steve Cavanagh's The Defense. Cavanagh's debut novel introduces
a wonderfully flawed hero, Eddie Flynn, one-time con man, now
turned lawyer, who will hold you spellbound. This is a hell of a
genre-bending book. I hope Cavanagh's working on the sequel."
--Nelson DeMille, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Radiant
Angel"This is a super, break-neck book."
--Charlaine Harris, #1 New York Times bestselling author"Steve
Cavanagh's The Defense puts the 'thrill' back in 'legal
thriller.' Non-stop action, unexpected and totally cool plot
twists, a sympathetic genius of a con-man/attorney, and a clock
that never ever ever stops ticking -- this isn't narrative drive,
it's rocket-like narrative propulsion! Hop aboard and enjoy the
ride!" --John Lescroart, New York Times bestselling author of The
Fall and the Dismas Hardy series"A fresh approach...A rush of
double-crosses...and some savvy lawyering. Cavanagh keeps
things hopping and writes a fine action scene."
--The Dallas Morning News"Reads a lot like a courtroom drama that
Lee Child might write about Jack Reacher's younger, hotter-headed
brother." --Irish Times"Part classic courtroom drama in the John
Grisham tradition and part Bruce Willis-like action hero fiction
straight out of the Die Hard franchise, this is a rip-roaring
action-packed and highly entertaining debut." --Irish
Independent"The Defense is the best kind of legal thriller,
proving that the real drama takes place outside of the courtroom,
in the head and the heart. I started reading to see what would
happen next, but couldn't put the book down because I needed to
learn more about con man turned lawyer Eddie Flynn, the smartest
man in the courthouse. I was hooked until the last satisfying
page." --Alafair Burke, New York Times bestselling author of
The Ex
