She knows their routines. Their secrets.
One night, on her way home, Ruby witnesses a neighbour's murder.

She knows the victim. She knows the killer.
She makes an anonymous call to the police and names the murderer.
But Ruby didn't tell the truth...
Because there's something wrong with Ruby Johnson.

Eddie Flynn, conman turned trial lawyer, must defend an innocent man accused of this terrible crime.

It won't be the last murder this witness is involved in...

Critics Review

The very definition of a page-turner!
IAN RANKIN
Steve Cavanagh's twists hit you between the eyes. You never see them coming
ANTHONY HOROWITZ
An enthralling mix of whodunnit, courtroom, drama and workplace comedy, which other authors might have seen as job done. Yet Cavanagh ... also gives Ruby her own storyline and lays on a fun, Coenesque subplot about rival hitmen competing to bump off Eddie, further enriching an already multilayered legal thriller.

EVENING STANDARD

THE SUN
An epic legal drama

IRISH INDEPENDENT
Cavanagh is able to inject new life into the familiar tropes of the thriller genre. He also knows that like any movie or song worth its salt, a book needs a good opening to hook the audience in, and Witness 8 has a great one ... The only drawback of Witness 8 is how quickly you'll fly through it and then be left impatiently awaiting Flynn's next outing.
BUSINESS POST
Steve Cavanagh has made a thoroughly appealing character our of Eddie and it is impossible not to root for him, whatever he does. The ingenuity of the lawyer's planning and the skill with which he executes his scemes are among the highlights of this fast-moving, funny, touching and occasionally horrifying tale. Cavanagh writes with a light hand and a quick wit.
LITERARY REVIEW

WOMAN’S WEEKLY
The Eddie Flynn novels go from strength to strength. Steve Cavanagh's ability to keep a thriller plot singing along is second to none. In Witness 8, Eddie and his crew find themselves embroiled in another adrenalin-fuelled, scorpion-by-the-tail legal rollercoaster. The best legal thriller series since Michael Connelly's Mickey Haller novels.
