Conspiracy Ignited

An Eric Ridge Thriller

De: Raymond Paul Johnson

Narrado por: Nick Cracknell

“Drop the case!”

Bashed over the head and tossed overboard into the cold, dark water of a Los Angeles marina, combat veteran turned litigator Eric Ridge struggles to stay alive—and discover who is trying to kill him. And why.

No matter the answer, one thing is certain: Eric Ridge does not abandon his clients and will not drop the case. The question is, what case was his assailant yelling about? Working with his legal team—including his best friend and his computer-whiz wife—Ridge is ultimately drawn into the sinister world of the Raven Society, a secretive cabal that controls the courts by coercing or killing judges. And anyone else who gets in their way.

In a race against the clock, will Ridge and his team survive to use the evidence they've developed? Or will they suffer the same fate as others who have dared to confront The Raven Society?

Exciting Legal thriller with Aviation Authenticity

The narrator is talented. He pronounces words correctly with appropriate intonation and simulates the foreign accent of the villain "Hess."

The author does a great job with technical detail and a clever plot. This is a stand-out thriller. Readers can sense the fear in the opening event and subsequent episodes.

The flashbacks to "Eric Ridge's" military combat flying in S.E. Asia, emphasize the dedicated American combat pilots flying in S.E. Asia. They accomplish their dangerous missions despite political unrest. This is a tribute to Vietnam Veterans, juxtaposed to the media criticism of American Pilots due to both political parties' mishandling of the Vietnam War.

Suggestions for the next book, Hess engages in such repugnant wrongdoing that the reader is "grossed out" and compelled to cheer for Eric Ridge and associates. The thriller writer might develop a less obvious villain. (Someone we trust not aware of his evil mind).

The author predicts the next book's interesting character, a beautiful female lawyer named "Kachingski ($)" who worked for the defense law firm. Will she leave the dark side under the influence of the handsome Eric Ridge? Phil K.
