Four men meet in Washington, D.C., and work to uncover government conspiracies. Each brings a different skill to the table, all are concerned with justice. Oliver Stone (not his real name), Caleb Shaw, Milton Farb and Reuben Rhodes are the Camel Club. What they witness during one of their meetings proves that conspiracies do exist -- and they're unsure how this one will end.
Luckily, they have some Secret Service connections (Agent Alex Ford) and a lot of willpower because they're going to need it. The murder they witnessed will reverberate throughout the U.S. government, and all four men fear for their lives.
That, of course, is not the only plot going on in a Baldacci novel. The CAMEL CLUB is guaranteed to keep you curious and turning those pages. While Alex and some of his cohorts are great characters, the real draw in this book is the Camel Club. Those four old men are well-drawn characters who will have you pounding the chair and turning pages to make sure they win the day. I've never read a Baldacci I didn't like -- and the streak is continued with this book.
It exists at the fringes of Washington, D.C., has no power,
and consists solely of four eccentric and downtrodden
members whom society has forgotten. Their simple goal is to
find the "truth" behind their country's actions.
One man leads this aging, ragtag crew. He has no known past
and has taken the name "Oliver Stone." Day and night, Stone
and his friends study wild conspiracy theories, current
events, and the machinations of government, hoping to
discover some truth that will hold America's leaders
accountable to its citizens. Yet never in Stone's wildest
nightmares could he imagine the conspiracy the Camel Club
is about to uncoverβ¦
After witnessing a shocking murder, the Club is slammed
headfirst into a plot that threatens the very security of
the nation, full of stunning twists, high-stakes intrigue,
and global gamesmanship rocketing to the Oval Office and
beyond. Soon the Club must join forces with veteran Secret
Service agent Alex Ford, who becomes an unwilling
participant in one of the most chilling spectacles to ever
take place on American soil. It's an event that may well be
the catalyst for the long-threatened Armageddon between two
different worlds, and all that stands in the way of this
apocalypse are five unexpected heroes.
