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!
