Oliver Stone, the leader of the mysterious group that calls itself the Camel Club, is both feared and respected by those who've crossed his path. Keeping a vigilant watch over our leaders in Washington, D.C., the Camel Club has won over some allies, but it has also earned formidable enemies-including those in power who will do anything to prevent Stone and his friends from uncovering the hidden, secret work of the government.
Annabelle Conroy, an honorary member of the Camel Club, is also the greatest con artist of her generation. She has swindled forty million dollars from casino king Jerry Bagger, the man who murdered her mother. Now he's hot on her trail with only one goal in mind: Annabelle's death. But as Stone and the Camel Club circle the wagons to protect Annabelle, a new opponent, who makes Bagger's menace pale by comparison, suddenly arises.
One by one, men from Stone's shadowy past are turning up dead. Behind this slaughter stands one man: Harry Finn. To almost all who know him, Finn is a doting father and loving husband who uses his skills behind the scenes to keep our nation safe. But the other face of Harry Finn is that of an unstoppable killer who inevitably sets his lethal bull's-eye on Oliver Stone. And with Finn, Stone may well have met his match.
As Annabelle and the Camel Club fight for their lives, the twists and turns whipsaw, leading to a finale that is as explosive as it is shattering. And when buried secrets are at last violently resurrected, the members of the Camel Club left standing will be changed forever.

This is the sequel to the Camel Club, Stone and his group end up fighting for their very lives. Annabelle Conroy, honorary member of the group, is fighting her own battle and the excitement for all is breathtaking for the reader. Excellent; couldn't put it down!
I just loved this book. I love all Baldacci's books, but this is by far, the best!! I only can hope he will write another "Camel Club" character book and go on where he left off! Very exciting, thrilling, hard to put down book!!

As always, David Baldacci's facts are impeccable and his plots are fantastic. This story will keep you reading at the expense of all those things you wanted to do. A terrific read!

This book is awesome. However, it is recommended that you read the first two books in the series.
