Crime Time FM

STEVE CAVANAGH chats to Paul Burke about his new Eddie Flynn novel THE DEVIL'S ADVOCATE, the death penalty, #BlackLivesMatter, Ross Macdonald and Clarence Darrow's cigar.
THE DEVIL'S ADVOCATE: A DEADLY PROSECUTOR - They call him the King of Death Row. Randal Korn has sent more men to their deaths than any district attorney in the history of the United States.
A TWISTED RITUALISTIC KILLING - When a young woman, Skylar Edwards, is found murdered in Buckstown, Alabama, a corrupt sheriff arrests the last person to see her alive, Andy Dubois. It doesn't seem to matter to anyone that Andy is innocent.
A SMALL TOWN BOILING WITH RAGE - Everyone in Buckstown believes Andy is guilty. He has no hope of a fair trial. And the local defense attorney assigned to represent him has disappeared.
A FORMER CON-ARTIST - Hot shot New York lawyer Eddie Flynn travels south to fight fire with fire. He plans to destroy the prosecutors case, find the real killer and save Andy from the electric chair.
But the murders are just beginning. Is Eddie Flynn next?
