Publisher Description
Explosive and enthralling, David Baldacci's Divine Justice is the fourth novel in his bestselling Camel Club series.
Known by his alias, 'Oliver Stone', John Carr is the most wanted man in America. With two pulls of the trigger, the men who hid the truth of Stone's past and kept him in the shadows were finally silenced.
But Stone's freedom has come at a steep price; the assassinations he carried out have prompted the highest levels of the United States Government to unleash a massive manhunt. Joe Knox is leading the charge, but his superiors aren't telling him everything there is to know about his quarry – and their hidden agendas are just as dangerous as the killer he's trying to catch.
Meanwhile, with their friend and unofficial leader in hiding, the members of the Camel Club must fend for themselves, even as they try to protect him. As Knox closes in, Stone's flight from the demons of his past will take him far from Washington, D.C., to the coal-mining town of Devine, Virginia – and headlong into a confrontation every bit as lethal as the one he is trying to escape.
Divine Justice is followed by Baldacci's final Camel Club novel, Hell's Corner.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Near the start of bestseller Baldacci's less than compelling fourth Camel Club thriller (after Stone Cold), former CIA assassin Oliver Stone (aka John Carr) boards a New Orleans bound train at Washington's Union Station after shooting to death "a well-known U.S. senator and the nation's intelligence chief," the two men responsible for his wife's murder. Ever the Good Samaritan, Stone intervenes in a fight on the train, but when the Amtrak conductor asks to see his ID, he gets off at the next station, knowing his fake ID won't withstand scrutiny. So much for Stone's vaunted ability as a resourceful planner. This sudden detour takes Stone to Divine, Va., a mining town where he becomes enmeshed in corruption and intrigue and falls, in just one of several clich d situations, for an attractive if beleaguered widow. Series fans should be satisfied, but this effort lacks the imagination that distinguished Baldacci's debut, Absolute Power (1996).
Customer Reviews
Devine Justice
This is another all action book, very page turning but never for one moment did you think it might be possible. A good read if you like this sort of thriller, which, I must admit, I am partial to.
Divine Justice
This one is as exciting as the rest of the camel club series I have seriously not read any of his books that I have not enjoyed enormously One of the few writers who never fails to deliver an enormous amount of pleasure
Camel Club #4 is only "Ok"
Better than most, but a bit far fetched.
I listened to the audio version which maybe didn’t help.
Ready to read final book in this series now.
