Description

While a gifted con artist plots against the most ruthless businessman in the world, the Camel Club must stop a renegade CIA agent from selling American secrets to the highest bidder in this #1 New York Times bestselling thriller.

The assassination of the speaker of the House has rocked the nation. And the Camel Club has found a chilling connection with another death: that of the director of the Library of Congress's Rare Books and Special Collections Division.

The club's unofficial leader, a man who calls himself Oliver Stone, discovers that someone is selling America to its enemies one secret at a time. Then Annabelle Conroy, the greatest con artist of her generation, comes to town and joins forces with the Camel Club for her own reasons. And Stone will need all the help she can give, because the two murders are hurtling the Camel Club into a world of espionage that is bringing America to its knees.

    With the help of a beautiful con artist, Annabelle Conroy comes to the aid of the Camel Club after the murder of a rare books expert at the Library Of Congress. What unfolds is a tale with numerous threats on the Camel Club members including Annabelle who has actually become attached to them especially Oliver Stone who saved her life. An amazing read with an obvious sequel. Enjoyed Immensely !!! My highest recommendation!!

    I have read many of Baldacci’s books. I quit this one after repeatedly skipping chapters again. And again. Finally stopped reading and wrote this review. Too bad. Gambling Man was also objectionable. No more Baldachi books for me.

    I loved the storyline and how it will bleed in to the next book.

    A good read that developed the threads at just the right pace. Complex enough to keep me figuring and people that were very believable. Still, my favorite mystery is The Winner! Thanks Sally

    It took too long to get exciting but once it did,I didn't want to put it down. I'm glad I didn't give up on it.

    Baldacci again delivers a twist and turn adventure. The ending is rather abrupt but ok, I always want the story to continue

    But a good story. I enjoy the character of Oliver Stone (John Carr) and his Camel Club buddies. But it's annoying that the first 1-2 words of each chapter do not display in the iBook App, in Portrait Mode, on my iPhone 5s. I have to rotate the device to Landscape, page forward once, read the words, rotate back to my preferred Portrait orientation, and page backwards to finish reading each Chapters first sentence. I have not seen this issue with other iBooks by this author. So annoying...
