This riveting psychological thriller from Steve Cavanagh, author of the "twisty" (The New York Times) Kill for Me, Kill for You, asks: What if the witness was more dangerous than the killer?
Something is wrong with Ruby Johnson.
A former resident of the ultra-elite Manhattan upper class, Ruby now works as a maid in the type of houses she used to live in. Unassuming, she sees everyone's dirty secrets from the inside of their beautiful, renovated brownstones. But when Ruby witnesses a murder, she has wicked plans in mind that don't involve telling the authorities the truth.
Eddie Flynn, streetwise ex con-artist-turned-defense attorney, is the only lawyer in New York City willing to take on hopeless cases. And none is more hopeless than John Jackson's--the gun that killed his neighbor found, with Jackson's DNA, in his own home. Flynn and his unconventional team will need to use every trick they know to keep an innocent man from being locked up. But to save his client's life, Eddie must first protect his own, as the scariest organized criminals in the city are out for his head.
Perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell and Megan Miranda, Witness 8 is a fresh knockout page-turner from an author who is "the real deal" (Lee Child, #1 New York Times bestselling author).

I have enjoyed every book in this series. The characters are smart, devious, and a bit crazy but you really can't help liking them. Hopefully there will be more books in this series in the future.
This book was a slog to get through. If I weren’t reading this for a book club, then I would have DNF’d. There were way too many POVs. It took me out of the story. I also didn’t care about anyone in this book. I’ve read two books by Steve Cavanaugh; Thirteen & Kill For Me, Kill For You. I gave both books 4.5 stars. So I was very disappointed by Witness 8.
Great story, but too many unrelated issues with a basic murder mystery, but the main plot was very good Mr Cavanagh is a great writer of page turning thrillers
Cavanagh has given us another fantastic thriller. We've got the remarkable lawyer/con man Eddie Flynn, plus the crew we've come to love, Harry, and Clarence (the very cool doggie), Kate, Bloch, Jimmie the Hat, Gabriel Lake and more. I'm starting to love these guys.It's a page-turner extraordinaire, but also, curiously, a story that touches on respect and love in the most unlikely relationships.
Another great Steve Cavanaugh book! Great writing, good plotting, entertaining read.
