Synopsis
Oliver Stone and the Camel Club are back in their most dangerous adventure yet a war on two fronts. Casino king Jerry Bagger from The Collectors is hunting Annabelle Conroy, the beautiful woman who conned him out of millions. Stone and his colleagues Reuben, Milton, and Caleb marshal all their resources to protect Annabelle. Yet all their skills may not be enough when a deadly new opponent rips off the veneer of Stone's own mysterious past: Bagger's menace pales next to newcomer Harry Finn's lethality. Passing as a normal family man, Finn has already killed three men, with more targets to come. When Finn sets his bull's-eye on Stone, his reason will be the greatest shock of all, causing readers to reconsider their views of good and evil. As bodies and institutions topple, the story rockets toward a shattering finale that will leave the survivors of this explosive tale changed forever.

Customer Reviews

The Camel Club is back again!
I love Baldacci's Camel Club and its characters, especially Oliver Stone. This book is fantastic, never boring and full of surprises... a must have in your books collection!

Routine with some good twists
There are no good guys in this novel, they are either killers, con artists or thugs.

Annabelle Conroy is on the run from vicious casino owner Jerry Blagger after taking him for forty million dollars. Ex SEAL and security expert Harry Finn is on a mission to kill all the CIA agents involved in assassinating his father. The Camel club lead by world class ex CIA assassin Oliver Stone join in the fun.

Thoroughly workmanlike the writing does not grip you as it should, the plot is fairly predictable but there are some good twists.

Baldacci fans will not be disappointed, otherwise enjoyable but not outstanding.
Stone Cold

Most enjoyable of the Camel Club books so far
This is a thoroughly enjoyable read. Its not as light hearted as the previous Camel Club books, nor does it hit the heights of Baldacci's very early work (e.g. Absolute Power), but it is fast paced and keeps you guessing until the end. My only, slight, criticism is that one or two of the devices used to tie up the loose ends at the finale are a little clumsy.
