"The Camel Club is back -- but will they be destroyed this time?"

Fresh Fiction Review

Stone Cold
David Baldacci

Reviewed by Morgan Chilson
Posted October 19, 2007

Thriller Political

Con artist Annabelle Conroy took millions from a man who will pursue her until one of the two of them is dead. But the con had been payback and she's not sorry for choosing that path. She is sorry that her friends in the Camel Club, who unquestioningly moved to protect her, are in danger.

Oliver Stone, leader of the Camel Club, which watches over Washington leaders, is determined to help Annabelle. But when his own past crashes into view, Oliver knows that he has to step back from Annabelle and his other friends lest they be destroyed, too.

Fans of David Baldacci -- and even those who are new to his work -- will be yanked into Oliver's world from the first page of STONE COLD. Excellent characterization, pacing and plot build a world in print that will commit every reader to seeing the Camel Club series through to its revealing end. One of my favorite series, the Camel Club books are at the top of my recommended list!

SUMMARY

STONE COLD...an unforgetable novel of revenge, conspiracy, and murder that brings a band of unlikely heroes face-to- face with their greatest threat.

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.
