THE BLURB FROM THE BACK COVER:

THE INNOCENT DON'T RUN - UNLESS THEIR LIVES DEPEND ON IT.

When international playboy Rick Carson stumbles onto a murder in his Montana home, he knows his life will never be the same. But he certainly doesn't expect to be the prime suspect. And he doesn't expect to find himself in the middle of a 1700-year-old conspiracy with tentacles reaching into the very highest levels of the government.
Park ranger Shannon Bridge is the first responding law enforcement agent on the scene. She seems legitimate, but is there more to her than meets the eye? Why is she willing to help Rick elude the law?
With unanswered questions and the law closing in, Shannon and Rick must find some way to exonerate him - and expose the truth before it's too late. In a place where no one is who they say they are and danger lurks around every corner, can they even trust each other?

My Opinion:
The Constantine Conspiracy was a very interesting book to read. The themes in the book were very thought-provoking. In fact, the main idea of the book reaching back into the 1700s is something that I had heard of recently with regards to the conspiracy to demean christianity. The book as a whole was interesting and I enjoyed the plot twists. The characters were well developed and three dimensional. The only thing I did not enjoy is the fact that there were two stories going in parallel. While I know that both storylines are essential to the story, I found jumping back and forth a bit cumbersombe. This is the first time I have read Mr. Parker and I must say I am looking forward to more books by him.
