Description

The past is about to catch up to Jack Logan and Taylor Parks in this gripping follow-up to The Network—praised by Steve Berry as “mandatory reading for any thriller aficionado.”

It’s been almost two years since investigative reporter Jack Logan and television producer Taylor Parks brought down the Institute—the secret facility responsible for indoctrinating a generation of America’s political and media power players. Their lives are just getting back to normal, and Jack and Taylor have settled into married life with their young son, Evan.

But soon a series of bizarre, seemingly random murder/suicides captures Jack’s attention as a disturbing pattern emerges. Could someone be intentionally causing people to become homicidal? At the same time, Taylor is producing a story about a class action suit against a national insurance company that has reached the Supreme Court.

As Jack and Taylor start to suspect that their stories are connected, they realize there is something far more insidious at play that could not only directly threaten them—but the very future of the country…

        "Riveting and relentless . . .. It's a truly scary tale, the implications of which are even more dire because it's grounded in reality." — Providence Journal

        "The premise is a good one, the tension is high, and the characters are well developed." — New York Journal of Books

        "Another white-knuckle conclusion. . . . Shaw creates nearly unbearable tension as the bodies pile up, the cabal seizes the advantage and Logan and Parks struggle for survival." — The Free Lance-Star

        "Action-packed. . . . The characters are well drawn and the story amps up to a cliff-hanger ending that will satisfy most thriller lovers. This book will appeal to fans of puzzle-solving thrillers and catastrophe stories from authors such as Steve Berry, David Baldacci, and Robin Cook." — Library Journal

        "Very diverting. . . . The pace is zippy, Jack and his family are sympathetic characters, and if you enjoy this kind of thriller, you can lose yourself in the action." — Mystery Scene

        "An action-packed follow up to The Network, The Silent Conspiracy has something for everyone: politics, religious relics, and international espionage. Buckle in for a wild ride." — Robert Dugoni, internationally best-selling author of the Tracy Crosswhite series

        "Masterfully entertaining, The Silent Conspiracy by L.C. Shaw is a mesmerizing brew of seeming innocence and good intentions. Powerhouse author Shaw takes us by the hand and leads us step by fascinating step from the normalcy of a happily married modern couple with a son, into a dark conspiracy of power, religion, passion, and untouchable evil. And it all begins with Judas Iscariot's 30 pieces of silver. This spell-binding web of danger isn't to be missed!" — Gayle Lynds, New York Times bestselling author of The Assassins

        "The Silent Conspiracy is a tense and riveting thriller that keeps you turning the pages as it reels you in to the very end, with a terrifying villain and a shocking conclusion that you won't soon forget." — Jamie Freveletti, international bestselling author of the Emma Caldridge series and Robert Ludlum's Covert One series

        Praise for THE NETWORK: "Revel in L.C. Shaw's thriller, The Network. . . . Part Dan Brown, part Ira Levin, part Ian Fleming, part Steve Berry—and wholly terrifying—The Network displays Shaw's talents, skills that enable her to produce nearly unbearable tension and multiple shocks as she seizes the reader and never lets go, not even on the final page." — The Free-Lance Star (Fredericksburg, VA)

        "Batten down the hatches, thriller fans. L.C. Shaw's The Silent Conspiracy is a wild, harrowing ride that never lets up. From the jaw-dropping first chapter to a conclusion that leaves gobs thoroughly-smacked, this Jack Logan saga has it all." — Chris Hauty, author of Deep State, a New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice

        "Foreboding, timely and necessary, THE SILENT CONSPIRACY is a gripping page-turner, rife with corruption, intrigue and haunting suspense. Totally engrossing!" — A.F. Brady, author of The Blind and Once A Liar

        "THE SILENT CONSPIRACY has got such a delicious conceit at the heart of it that I wish I'd thought of it. You'll wonder how on earth the author is going to pull all the threads and characters together, then marvel as they manage it, page after page-turning page." — Simon Toyne, Sunday Times bestselling author of Sanctus

        Two years have passed since investigative reporter Jack Logan and TV producer Taylor Parks exposed the Institute, a secret organization trying to control high-ranking political and media leaders, in 2019’s The Network. Now, in this so-so sequel from the pseudonymous Shaw (Lynne Constantine, coauthor with her sister of The Wife Stalker as Liv Constantine), Jack and Taylor are happily married in New York City and the doting parents of a toddler. Jack is following a story about 18 murder-suicides committed by normally nonviolent people, and Taylor is producing a story about a class-action suit against a national insurance company with ruthless policies. As their respective stories intersect, the couple combine their research. Meanwhile, they’re unaware that their old foe Damon Crosse, the Institute’s director, faked his suicide in the previous book, and, in disguise, controls Taylor’s TV station. Tedious plotting, dense prose, and bland characters mar the plot, which centers on Crosse’s efforts to collect the 30 pieces of silver Judas received for betraying Jesus to further an evil plan. Fans of James Bond villains and Dan Brown knockoffs may be satisfied. Agent: Bernadette Baker-Baughman, Victoria Sanders & Assoc.

        September 1, 2020

        Two years ago, Jack Logan and journalist Taylor Stevens fought and destroyed the evil Institute, a corrupt organization with ties to government and political figures at all levels. The two have settled down into married life with their two-year-old son, Evan. But a disturbing murder-suicide at a local Little League game causes Jack to question if the incident is linked to similar disturbances around the country. What makes these individuals go crazy and homicidal? Soon a pattern emerges. Meanwhile, Taylor is working on a story about a lawsuit against a national insurance company that could go all the way to the Supreme Court. Jack soon discovers that there may be a connection between the lawsuit and the suicides and murders happening all around them. They don't realize that they have uncovered a conspiracy beyond the likes of anything they have ever encountered before. VERDICT Shaw delivers a second action-packed installment in the "Jack Logan" series (after The Network). The characters are well drawn and the story amps up to a cliff-hanger ending that will satisfy most thriller lovers. This book will appeal to fans of puzzle-solving thrillers and catastrophe stories from authors such as Steve Berry, David Baldacci, and Robin Cook.--Bill Anderson, Scott Cty. P.L., Scottsburg, IN
