Description

THE SERIAL KILLER ISN'T ON TRIAL.
HE'S ON THE JURY...

'Books this ingenious don't come along very often' MICHAEL CONNELLY
'Outstanding' LEE CHILD
'Smart and original. This is a belter of a book' CLARE MACKINTOSH
'One of the most mercilessly compelling thrillers you will read this decade' CHRIS BROOKMYRE


'To your knowledge, is there anything that would preclude you from serving on this jury?'

Murder wasn't the hard part. It was just the start of the game.
Joshua Kane has been preparing for this moment his whole life. He's done it before. But this is the big one.
This is the murder trial of the century. And Kane has killed to get the best seat in the house.

But there's someone on his tail. Someone who suspects that the killer isn't the man on trial.
Kane knows time is running out - he just needs to get to the conviction without being discovered.

A superbly intriguing, hooky, grippy, twisty, clever thriller that kept me up all night. -- Liz Nugent
Superb, fast-paced legal thriller. So well-plotted (I LOVED the court/jury details). Hints of Lee Child. BRILLIANT. -- Will Dean

This incredibly skilful novel deserves nothing less than five stars. It would be a crime to miss it. -- The Sun
Cavanagh sets a cracking pace . . . a genuine, read-in-one-sitting page-turner. -- Guardian
This dazzling serial killer thriller set in Manhattan is written by a Dublin-based civil rights lawyer. One of the most accomplished legal dramas I have read this year, it reminds me of Scott Turow's stunning Presumed Innocent. The trial itself reveals Cavanagh's astonishingly sure touch for character and the skill of his serpentine plotting. -- Daily Mail
That central hook along with Cavanagh's breakneck prose pace and expert plotting make for a white-knuckle ride of a story. It's something of a high-wire act, blending the machinations of a courtroom drama with the high-octane cat and mouse of a serial killer plotline, but Cavanagh delivers on both counts in spades, expertly cranking up the tension towards an explosive finale that will take thereader's breath away. Cracking stuff. -- Big Issue
An adrenaline-fuelled thrill ride. Thirteen is courtroom drama at its finest. An outstanding legal thriller, so original, clever and accomplished that it should not be missed. It marks out Cavanagh as the heir apparent to John Grisham. -- Daily Express
Witty and clever . . . irresistible. -- Daily Telegraph
Fans of John Grisham and Lee Child will enjoy this book. -- Independent
Grisham-on-steroids. -- Irish Independent
This is a heart-racing novel with vertiginous twists and turns. A winning mix of glamour and gruesomeness. -- The Lady
A blisteringly exciting thriller, with a chilling killer. -- Sunday Express
A fast-paced and absorbing thriller. Prepare to buckle up as a smattering of seemingly isolated events spiral into a twist-laden read. -- The Herald
A cracking premise. -- Sunday Independent
A truly first-class US courtroom drama. -- The Times
A twisty clever read. -- Woman's Weekly
It's hard to resist Cavanagh's mix of high-wire plotting and higher octane action. -- Mail on Sunday

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.
