This is the 1st book in the Eddie Flynn series. The first couple of chapters hooked me right in & the book was a roller coaster ride. Eddie slips between con man/lawyer effortlessly & the con with the Russian mob was detailed & exciting. I can't wait to read the next one
Usually I am religious about reading books in a series in order of publication, but based on the positive reviews, I read Thirteen first, and am now starting at the beginning. The Defense is just as good as Thirteen. It is smartly crafted with lots of surprises, and maintains a perfect balance between action and courtroom drama. Highly recommended.
