Publisher's Summary

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

Hollywood actor Robert Soloman stands accused of the brutal stabbings of his wife and her lover, but he is desperately pleading that he had nothing to do with it. This is the trial of the century, and the defence want Eddie Flynn on their team.

The biggest case Eddie has ever tried before, he decides to take it on despite the overwhelming evidence that Robert is guilty. As the trial starts, Eddie becomes sure of Robert's innocence, but there's something else he is even more sure of - that there is something sinister going on in the jury box.

Because of this, he is forced to ask: what if the killer isn't on the stand? What if he's on the jury?

better than John Grisham

I am constantly surprised by how well this author mixes clever court room cross examination with edge of your seat action.

Incredible

I could not stop listening. I found myself going for 10km walks daily just so I could keep listening. I would play it in shower even.
Ending was just twist after twist.
Love it.

superb!

I don't often leave reviews for things like this, but felt I had to on this occasion. Thirteen is absolutely fantastic! Lots of great courtroom action, as well as getting the viewpoint from a number of characters. It's a bit of a cliche to say I just wanted to keep listening, but I really did. I ended up having a couple of very late nights because I just wanted to hear what happened next!

Narration was really good, have no complaints there.

One of the best courtoom/crime books I've come across!

Amazing. Best thriller I've read in years.

This was a thrill ride from start to finish. Cavanagh has shown he is up with the best crime writers by producing a white knuckle experience where you have no idea what is coming on the next page.

Absolutely BRILLIANT!

I have never read anything by Steve Cavanagh before, and this story was riveting from start to finish. Fab tempo, great writing style and believable characters. Adam Sim's reading style matched the book perfectly - crisp, clear and full of character.
