Thirteen by Steve Cavanagh

From Hachette Australia:

The blurb for Steve Cavanagh's "Thirteen" came up in my feed today and sounded interesting.

The book blurb:

'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.

For the only way to guarantee a guilty verdict is to get a seat on the jury.

So, I read a little excerpt of the book online - and what little I read had me hooked! The narrative is sharp and unencumbered; the characters well drawn; the story line and plot engaging.Though number four in Cavanagh's "Eddie Flynn" series, this, I feel, can be read as a stand alone.  

The premise is simple: Hollywood bad boy on trial for murder, whilst, unbeknownst to all, a murdered sits among the members of the jury - to what intent...
