It is a security nightmare and a jurisdiction battle for the various law enforcements in D.C. Clearly that was an indication that Baldacci was coming to a closure with this series, even if one hadnt known prior to reading this book.īaldacci provides a map of Lafayette Park and area around White House, particularly focusing on the Hell's Corner, in the book. Baldacci brought a family feeling to Stone even though he is knee deep in a conspiracy that would almost cost his life, again!Ĭonsidering this is the last of the books in this series, we see a lot of past of the characters mentioned at almost every other turn of the page. The Camel Club members came out as those that poke their nose in your business no matter what because they love you and want to protect you. A distinct similarity with Jason Bourne, don’t you think so? And has very few whom he calls as his friend. Time and again he is betrayed by people he trusts. Stone had left the CIA, but now is forced to go back in.

Instead it made me alert at every turn of the page.Īs I was reading Hell's Corner, right on the heals of the Jason Bourne books that I read a few weeks ago, Baldacci's Oliver Stone turned out to be more and more as Robert Ludlum's Jason Bourne. He throws in twists after twists that at one time spun my brain, yet did not give me giddiness. Why not! He takes us from Russians to Mexicans to British and American conspiracies takes us into the world of terrorism involved at the molecular level. In this final episode of The Camel Club, Baldacci throws in everything except the Kitchen Sink, I felt.

Despite his resistance, Stone reaches out to his Camel Club to delve into the depths of the investigation. Now he is teamed with Mary Chapman from MI6 to uncover the conspirators behind the bombing. Right before Oliver Stone is shipped out on a mission, a bomb goes off in the Lafayette Park in Washington D.C., almost taking out the Prime Minister of United Kingdom. Four more members get added to the club as the series progresses - Alex Ford, a Secret Service Agent Kate Adams, Lawyer at the Department of Justice Harry Finn, former Navy SEAL and Annabelle Conroy, a compulsive thief. The original members are Oliver Stone, the leader of the club and ex-member of triple six division of CIA Reuben Rhodes, a Vietnam Vet Caleb Shaw, employee of the Library of Congress and Milton Farb, a child prodigy. The Camel Club is a group of people who are primarily political watch-dogs looking for conspiracies in the government and thwarting them to safeguard the country.
