The Bottom Line: Voted the year’s best legal thriller in the 2024 BestThrillers.com Book Awards.
If Conspiracy Ignited is any indication, we’d like to spend a lot more more time with Eric Ridge.
This gem of a book comes to us from an author who has served as a combat pilot, as DOD Chairperson of the DOD-NASA Space Shuttle Integration Groups and as a teacher of trial law, aviation law and product liability classes at USC.
That wealth of experience shines through in every chapter, whether discussing how evidence may be handled in a case, or in one of the book’s absorbing action sequences.
After surviving an attack at an LA marina, in which an assailant demanded that Ridge “drop the case,” his mission is to discover who is trying to kill him and why.
And by the way, which case was the man who attacked him even talking about?
Working with his legal team, 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?
