Rock Creek Park
Autor Simon Conwayen Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 ian 2013
Scottish former police protection officer Harriet 'Harry' Armstrong discovers the body of a beautiful young woman outside the home of a powerful US Senator. Detective Michael Freeman knows this case means pressure - pressure to close the case quickly, pressure to keep the Senator out of it, pressure from his ambitious wife not to rock the political boat. But Harry and Freeman have both become involved in a conspiracy that is impossible to walk away from. What is the Senator's link to a shady genetic engineering company? Why does MI6 want Harry to take a job with the company's founder?
An edgy combination of political thriller and police procedural, ROCK CREEK PARK represents another step in the brilliant career of CWA award-winning author Simon Conway.

Recenzii
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.
A terrific read. ROCK CREEK PARK does for Washington what Gorky Park did for Moscow. Bring in the readers, scare the tourists.
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.
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.
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
