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.
