Steve Cavanagh was born and raised in Belfast before leaving for Dublin at the age of eighteen to study Law. He practiced civil rights law and was involved in several high-profile cases; in 2010 he represented a factory worker who suffered racial abuse in the workplace and won the largest award of damages for race discrimination in Northern Ireland legal history. He holds a certificate in Advanced Advocacy and lectures on various legal subjects (but really he just likes to tell jokes). His novel The Liar won the CWA Gold Dagger award while his follow-up novel Thirteen won the Theakston Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year Award in 2019. Twisted was a Sunday Times Top 10 Bestseller. He is married with two young children.Follow Steve on Facebook at facebook.com/SSCav1 and Twitter @SSCav
A great read! Top notch thrills and court room drama!

Addictive, unpredictable and timely (with a truly explosive
conclusion). For me, Steve Cavanagh is the new John Grisham.
Excellent.
*Will Dean*
Gripping, twisty and smart.

I couldn't put it down ... I envy people who haven't had the chance
to read Steve Cavanagh's Eddie Flynn series. it's like a binge
worthy box-set in book form.
*Philippa Perry*
With THE DEVILS ADVOCATE Steve Cavanagh resoundingly reaffirms what
mystery fans worldwide already know. He is one of the best thriller
writers working today. THE DEVIL'S ADVOCATE bristles with dramatic
courtroom tension, suspense, intrigue and more twists and turns
than a moonlit country road. Not to be missed.

A blinder of a book. Classic Eddie. All the noir you've come to
expect and a plot and a half! That guy just gets better and
better.
*Imran Mahmood*
This is high octane court drama & I loved every heart-racing,
nail-biting page of it.
*Amy McLellan*
Hands down the best book I've read this year. Pacy, clever, steeped
in historical accuracy. There's room for wit too. What. A.
Ride.
*Phil Williams*
Steve Cavanagh is a world-class talent. Make this your next read.
The Devil's Advocate is another blistering case from Steve
Cavanagh's outstanding Eddie Flynn series. Tense, timely and
brimming with hard boiled justice, The Devil's Advocate is a
thoroughly gripping thriller. Highly recommended.
*Adam Hamdy*
Previous books in the Eddie Flynn series have won the Gold Dagger
Award and The Theakstons Crime Novel of the Year Award, incredibly,
however, The Devils Advocate might well be the best novel in the
series so far. As usual Eddie is funny, resourceful and smart but
in this one he meets his most villainous and intelligent opponent
yet. Steve Cavanagh's take on the American system of criminal
justice is both biting satire and exciting thriller a combo that
makes Devils Advocate the beach read of the summer of 2021.
*Adrian McKinty*
This is Cavanagh's best yet ... I'm obsessed with Eddie Flynn and
this is a masterpiece.
*Jo Spain*
The undisputed king of the courtroom drama.
*Brian McGilloway*
Steve Cavanagh now has the same hotshot literary agent (Shane
Salerno) as Don Winslow. Not bad for a boy from Belfast. His latest
thriller may flirt with the far-fetched, but if you read the first
eight pages you'll be hooked. The Devil's Advocate makes your palms
sweat and your blood run cold; the terrific trial scenes
out-Grisham John Grisham. Meanwhile, in the 21st century, in the
land of the free, the death penalty remains a reality.
*The Times*
Cavanagh is a genius... page-turning stuff
*Evening Standard*
A great book by a great author.
*Martina Cole*
