Publisher Description
Stone Cold by David Baldacci is the third exhilarating thriller in the bestselling Camel Club series.
Oliver Stone and the Camel Club are back.
Set on exposing the real story behind the closed doors of America’s leaders, they draw upon their vast experience to seek justice and the truth.
Now they must face their most dangerous adventure yet – a war on two fronts.
Casino king Jerry Bagger is hunting Annabelle Conroy, the elite con-artist who cheated him out of millions. Stone and his colleagues must draw on all their resources if they are to protect Annabelle from a terrible fate.
Yet all their skills may not be enough when a deadly new opponent rips off the veneer of Stone’s own mysterious past. An unstoppable killer intent on one goal: the death of Oliver Stone.
Stone Cold is followed by Divine Justice and Hell's Corner.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The modern-day paladins of the Camel Club are back in their third exciting adventure (after 2006's The Collectors). Justice-seekers Milton, Caleb, Reuben and honorary member Alex Ford, a Secret Service agent, are led by feisty Oliver Stone, aka former CIA assassin John Carr. Their associate, Annabelle Conroy, is a slick con artist on the run after stealing $40 million from lunatic casino owner Jerry Bagger, who killed her mother. Oliver's CIA past distracts him from Annabelle's cause: his old unit, Triple 6, was responsible for the death of Raymond Solomon, branded a traitor during the Cold War, and now Solomon's son, DHS security expert Harry Finn, is picking off Triple 6 members. Oliver could be next if Carter Gray, his former boss, reveals that John Carr isn't really dead. Gripping, chilling and full of surprises, Baldacci's latest reveals the anarchy that lurks under the slick facade of corrupted governments.
Customer Reviews
Finger aching page turner!
Yet again Baldacci spins a fast paced thriller that just keeps you turning the pages. Two threads running through the plot with connections that keep you guessing and the real desperate need to know what happened next. I've read a few Baldacci books now and just wish I had been able to start at the beginning and read the lot in chronological order.
Read this and be prepared to read all the other books he has written. Right up there with Michael Conelly and John Grisham
Another page turner typical of Baldacci
#3 of Camel Club series.
Enjoyable but again the ending was confusing and trashy.
Frankly this title is only stored under "Good Read" for the sake of continuity of the series.
