Thirteen

A Novel (Eddie Flynn, Book 3)

By: Steve Cavanagh

Narrated by: Adam Sims

2019 Hudson Booksellers Best of the Year

The serial killer isn’t on trial. He’s on the jury.

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 his movie-star client killed two people. He suspects the real killer is closer than they think - but who would guess just how close?

Praise for Thirteen:

“A brilliant, twisty, ingeniously constructed puzzle of a book. Steve Cavanagh pulls off an enviable premise with panache.” (Ruth Ware)

“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)

Critic reviews

"Sims portrays the lawyer’s first-person narrative with a hint of a New York accent, while giving the other characters slight distinctions as well. The killer’s chapters are written in third person and underscored with boredom, suggesting someone who’s killed many times and lost the thrill. Passing references are made to characters and situations in the previous books, but this installment stands well on its own. Suggest this title both to those who love a legal thriller where the lawyer does more than practice law and to those who like a solid, twisted serial killer tale without the gory details." (Booklist)

AMAZING

If you like suspense, great storyline, great legal drama, exciting listens, fabulous narration, this is the story for you !!!

excellent story

really enjoyed listening to this book that was recommended by a friend. 1st exposure to this author

Love

Absolutely loved this book. Lots of twist and turns was not predictable. Wasn't "wordy" but made you feel you were there.

well written, great storyline, twist and turns

the author makes it very interesting since it is not just a novel about a trial but the killer actually getting on the jury. good character development and not seeing how the protagonist can possibly pull this off

Great story

I really enjoyed this overall. However, towards the end of the story, I was just waiting for Kane to finally get caught. The anticipation was insane!!

New favorite

I loved this one. I needed a book like this. Law and murder. Enjoyed it more than I predicted and now I want to read all his books. Thank you!

Great pace and great plot

This keeps you on your toes the whole time. It’s easy to listen to the whole time and is very well thought out.

Great Read!

I ran through this book so fast. Every time I had to put it down I was looking for opportunities to pick it back up!

Twists and questions until the very last sentence

Unique story with a different format that holds your interest and keeps you guessing. The narration is excellent and the main characters are well developed. I wish this was a series.

So Thrilling!!!

This is one h*ll of a story! This has made it to the top of my all time favorites. I'd like to see this turned into a movie. I listen to a lot of psychological thrillers and this is the best of the best! You will not be disappointed! When you think you know what might happen you find out you really have no idea at all.
