Summary

Rock Creek Park: A Conspiracy Forged in Flesh and Blood

Critics Review

Vivid and atmospheric from its opening lines, ROCK CREEK PARK sweeps us into a fantastic yet fully realized world, fusing the political thriller with a murder mystery as enthralling as it is complex. Replete with engaging characters and engrossing scenes, this is one novel where the pages seem to turn themselves. Simon Conway is a serious talent. - Richard North Patterson

A terrific read. ROCK CREEK PARK does for Washington what Gorky Park did for Moscow. Bring in the readers, scare the tourists. - Matt Frei, Channel 4 New Correspondent

With ROCK CREEK PARK, Simon Conway has succeeded where many longtime Washington D.C. writers have failed: he has delivered a bristling, stomach-knotting Beltway murder drama in which the capital city’s timeless connivances are expertly captured. This is Conway’s best and most imaginative book yet. - Robert Draper

As a writer with an apartment overlooking Rock Creek Park, I can testify to the dead-on accuracy of Simon Conway’s portrayal. As a veteran Washington journalist, I can attest to his perfect-pitch rendition of the smug insider world of DC power players. And as a lover of thrillers, I can confess that I was hooked (or, more accurately, addicted) from the moment the first body popped up in Rock Creek Park. - Walter Shapiro, Washington, D.C. correspondent

A genetic hybrid of police procedural, political thriller, Michael Crichton style techno thriller with some post Cold War adventure thriller thrown into the mix for good measure. And it works. Conway writes very well and depicts both characters and locations effectively … an immediate page turner - The Art of Danger
