The Cross
by Steve Cavanagh
Eddie Flynn is back, and he's in a familiar bind: a high-stakes case with his firm's future on the line. This time, he's defending a widow whose husband was killed by police, but the official story doesn't sit right. As Eddie digs into the details, he uncovers a tangled web of secrets and corruption that goes far beyond a simple legal defense. The Cross is a lightning-fast legal thriller that throws Eddie into a moral tightrope walk, forcing him to make impossible choices while uncovering a massive conspiracy. If you love legal thrillers where the stakes are personal, the pace never lets up, and the lines between right and wrong are constantly blurred, this novella will keep you guessing and gasping until the very last page. It's a perfect pick for readers who crave intense suspense and a protagonist who's always fighting from behind.
