With a master spy and the U. S. government after him, former CIA assassin Oliver Stone is America's most wanted man-but escaping D.C. won't protect him from a lethal world of political corruption in this #1 New York Times bestselling thriller.
Known by his alias, "Oliver Stone," John Carr is the most wanted man in America. With two pulls of the trigger, the men who destroyed Stone's life and kept him in the shadows were finally silenced.
But his freedom comes at a steep price: The assassinations he carried out prompt the highest levels of the U.S. government to unleash a massive manhunt. Yet behind the scenes, master spy Macklin Hayes is playing a very personal game of cat and mouse. He, more than anyone else, wants John Carr dead. With their friend and unofficial leader in hiding, the members of the Camel Club risk everything to save him. As the hunters close in, Stone's flight from the demons of his past will take him from the power corridors of Washington, D.C., to the coal-mining town of Divine, Virginia--and into a world every bit as bloody and lethal as the one he left behind.

"This is the fourth book in the Camel Club series and reunites the people from the earlier books, with the exception of those who were killed in these books. Dealing with their grief and events from the third book is continued into this best seller. Oliver Stone the main character is on the run again and has told his close friends to cut all ties with him for their own safety. The tight spots that he finds himself in just keep happening as he gains additional friends and new enemies. The reader is unable to figure out how Baldacci will get our hero out of the locked down prison, Dead Rock."

“[A] thriller of relentless intensity, a perfect follow-up to [Baldacci’s] acclaimed Stone Cold.”
— Barnes & Noble editorial review“Combining the Camel Club series’ wit and fast pace with a Fugitive-like story (casting Stone as Richard Kimble, the man on the run who risks his life to protect the lives of strangers), Baldacci shows once again that he is a sort of thriller Renaissance man: a master of plot, dialogue, and character. It’s fascinating to observe how Stone operates when he’s entirely on his own, too…A rousing success, although this should come as no surprise to faithful Baldacci readers.”
— Booklist (starred review)“Baldacci fans will welcome this latest tale about the charismatic Stone and his exceedingly loyal friends with its fast-paced action and intriguing plot twists. Highly recommended for all thriller collections.”
— Library JournalCunning chases will keep readers avidly turning the pages.
— Richmond Times-DispatchA rousing success . . . Baldacci shows once again that he is a sort of thriller Renaissance man: a master of plot, dialogue, and character.
— Booklist (starred review)Series fans should be satisfied.
— Publisher's Weekly" I enjoyed the book a lot... and it was refreshing to take the action out of DC... and although a little corny... it was nice to see Oliver Stone get kind of involved with someone... almost like showing he is trying to leave behind his past... if that is even possible... "
— Jose, 2/19/2014" This was a good book with the most exciting conclusion I have read in a long time! "
— TeriC, 2/17/2014" The Camel Club is back in action after the revenge killing of a couple of bad guys. Oliver Stone is on the run and his friends from the 'club' want to help. Also on his trail are the feds, and they don't necessarily want him alive to stand trial. Oliver ends up in a rural Virginia town of Divine. Seems to be more prosperous than it's coal mining/maximum security prison employment would allow for. Who will find Oliver first? Will the evil ones get what's coming? It kept me reading in the middle of the night to find out. "
— Jody, 2/16/2014" Good book, but not my favorite of the Camel Club series. "
— Judy, 2/13/2014" I didn't like this one as much as I liked First Family. I might have enjoyed it more if I had read others from this group. I thought there to too many components tied together in the small town mystery. A little too far fetched for me. "
— Denise, 2/9/2014" Excellent audio book for a long lonely car ride. Baldacci writes a great action thriller that helps drive not seem so long. "
— Kelly, 1/20/2014" Each of these books started at the end of the previous book. In many ways, the four books in the series constitute one long novel in four parts. The fourth book ends in a way that would logically end the series....but I hope it doesn't. I will miss these unlikely heroes. "
— Mom, 1/19/2014" C 1/2009/4 "
— Singletary, 1/18/2014" Baldacci always a good read. "
— Lee, 1/12/2014" book 4 this i thought was the best of the 4 "
— Eeverson, 1/5/2014" Baldacci fans...you'll like this one...the usual Camel Club adventures, but off to a setting in the hills of Virginia wher the story becomes very Jack Reacherish!!! "
