Also in 1979, Caldwell suffered a stroke, which left her unable to speak, though she could still write. (She had been deaf since about 1965.) Her daughter Peggy accused Prestie of abusing and exploiting Caldwell, and there was a legal battle over her substantial assets.

The movie takes these ideas and builds a story that evokes a sense of fascination and dread with complex characters, rich although disturbing mythology, beautiful scenery and brilliant acting making for a great movie. Certainly the subject is one of redemption including the hope of a restoration to those lost things which are a result of an endemic failure to remain vigilant concerning representative government. To one (such as myself) who has not before read this Author, other works are reported to be Biblically themed, which makes many aspects of this work unsurprising regarding the ultimate weaknesses of humans and tendency toward failure.

You see, the overly zealous D.A. enjoys watching executions and never misses an opportunity to witness the gruesome act in person, even if the men weren’t guilty.

In this instalment of the excellent series Eddie and his team take on Randall Korn, the DA of Sunville Co, Alabama. Korn is a killer using his office as cover as he’s sent more people to their deaths than any other DA. Andy Dubois is arrested by sheriff Colt Lomax for the murder of popular Skylar Edwards, the town is out for revenge and Andy has little hope of a fair trial. Shadowy government fixer Alexander Berlin persuade Eddie to take the case when Andy‘s lawyer disappears. The team are about as welcome as Typhoid Mary. Can the “cavalry“ save Andy? The visitor to Eddie’s New York office is Alexander Berlin, someone we met before in The Liar, where he was working as a clandestine fixer for the State Department. Now Berlin is doing more classified work, moving around government departments, solving problems, and he has a proposition for Eddie. Although the lawyer is adamant that he doesn’t want to listen, soon he is fully on board. Blame for the alternate-history dystopian slide into what Caldwell is unable to correctly label as right-wing authoritarianism is laid collectively at the feet of:The evidence has been rigged, witnesses have been silenced and Eddie and his team only have SEVEN days to find an angle that will save his client’s life and maybe take down the crooked D.A. in the process. The Devil's Advocate is one of my favourite movies. I must have seen ten times plus. I can probably quote most of it word for word. I had no idea it was based on a book until last Saturday when watching the DVD again, I let the end credits roll longer than I usually do and noticed. So I immediately went and bought it.

Schoell 2016, p.112: "In the novel the pedophile client was a woman, a lesbian, and it was strongly implied that she was guilty, although many of the characters seemed to think it was bad enough that she was a lesbian." The underground Minute Men organization has repeatedly seen many of its members captured, tortured, and eliminated. One such is Andrew Durant who has been subjected to intensive interrogation and has seen the failure of several others of his cohorts who succumb to torture and betray what information that they possessed. Only Durant and another Minuteman named ’Christian’ have withstood the 'test' and each is given a new mission designed to hasten the advent of the restored Republic of the United States. The Torturer in Chief is secretly a very highly placed official who provides the subjects with new identities and credentials to be used in forwarding the mission. So Eddie and his friend and mentor, former judge Harry Forbes (who now works as a consultant on Eddie’s cases), head to Alabama. It is clear from the start that they are most unwelcome in the town. Neither of the hotels, which have vacancy signs lit, will give them a room. Everyone in the town is convinced of Andy’s guilt. The next day Eddie’s law partner, Kate Brooks, and their investigator, former police officer Bloch, arrive in town. At least they manage to swing some rooms for them.In its first two years, The Devil's Advocate sold 3 million copies. It was staged on Broadway by Dory Schary.

It’s one of those special reads where you desperately want to get to the end but also want to make it last as long as possible. I take my hat off to you Mr Cavanagh, The Devil’s Advocate is your best Eddie Flynn book yet!
