Witness 8 introduces us to Ruby Johnson, a nanny and maid on Manhattan's West 74th Street. One night, she witnesses her neighbor's murder. Knowing both the victim and the killer, Ruby makes an anonymous call to the police, but she doesn't tell the whole truth. There's something unsettling about Ruby, and her actions set off a chain of events that pull in Eddie Flynn, a former con artist turned defense attorney. Eddie takes on the case of John Jackson, a pediatric brain surgeon accused of the crime, and must navigate a web of deceit to uncover the truth.​

If you're a fan of authors like John Grisham or Michael Connelly, who masterfully blend legal intricacies with suspenseful storytelling, you'll likely enjoy Steve Cavanagh's work.​

In conclusion, Witness 8 is a gripping legal thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat. With its complex characters and unpredictable twists, it's a must-read for fans of the genre.​
