David Baldacci: The Camel Club (Kindle Version)

The Camel Club
The Camel Club. It's where the most influential businessmen and politicians wine, dine, and often change the course of history--and where ruthless mercenaries spy unseen, recording every last bit of information to sell to the highest bidder. But when Harry Stone--homeless man and conspiracy theorist extraordinaire--witnesses a gruesome murder, secrets begin to unravel. Stone steals a piece of evidence from the scene that links the Club's founders to the murder of a high-profile government official, and they'll do anything to get it back. Secret Service Agent W. Frank Churchill begins investigating Stone as a murder suspect, but soon, with the help of defense attorney Kate Monroe, he unearths a shocking truth: One man is using the Camel Club for his own terrible devices--and to achieve his horrific goals, he must kill Stone...and anyone else who gets in his way.

Customer Review: Good Cloak and Dagger Fun

"Camel Club" is a smartly written cloak and dagger tale that weaves together suspense, action, and contemporary issues in a fabulous read. Baldacci not only has a knack for storytelling, but he also speaks eloquently through his characters about terrorism, fear, prejudice, and aggression. Well informed and artfully written, "Camel Club" is the perfect suspense novel for cold November weekends.



The world is a more dangerous place after 9/11, and no one knows it better than Carter Gray, the United States "intelligence czar" and the President's right hand man. Having lost his family on that horrible day, Gray has dedicated his life to crushing terrorism, and he won't allow anything to stop him: not even personal liberty or privacy. This is a game with deadly consequences and Gray is playing for keeps.



However, shadowy forces work behind the scenes, infiltrating the intelligence community at the highest levels. With a handful of keystrokes, terrorists' identities are erased as a deadly plot moves forward against the President. The nation's only hope lies in the hands of world-weary secret service agent Alex Ford and a handful of outcasts who call themselves the "Camel Club".



Evoking thoughts of Tom Clancy, this is a great thriller touching deep, painful contemporary matters. It's pacing is timely, characterization deep, and its narrative tense. Offering a thought-provoking, perhaps frightening view of our future struggles with terrorism, "Camel Club" is a definite thriller-junkie pleaser.
