Before he can lead a covert mission on the orders of the President, a former CIA assassin must track down the source of a terrorist attack and navigate a shadowy world of betrayal and political secrets in this #1 New York Times bestselling thriller.
John Carr, aka Oliver Stone-once the most skilled assassin his country ever had-stands in Lafayette Park in front of the White House. Inside, the British prime minister is being honored at a state dinner. Then, just as the prime minister's motorcade leaves, a bomb explodes in the park, and in the chaotic aftermath Stone is given an urgent assignment: find those responsible.
British MI-6 agent Mary Chapman becomes his partner in the search for the unknown attackers. But their opponents are elusive, skilled, and increasingly lethal. Worst of all, the park bombing may have been only the opening salvo in their plan. With nowhere else to turn, Stone enlists the help of the only people he knows he can trust: the Camel Club.

"I was a little unsure before I read this book because I didn't know how he would be able to keep the storyline good with these characters. I really liked the book and for some reason appreciated the references throughout the book to their fallen camel club memeber from the previous book."
— Tanna (4 out of 5 stars)
" This had so many twists and turns. I would say that this is the best of the Camel Club series. I just hope he keeps writing them. "
— Debra, 2/16/2014" A great book, for me the best of the Camel Club. A good story with many twists and turns. Many of the same characters from the previous books are in this book. The story provides more history of the characters and gives them more depth. Overall, a very good read. "
— Mark, 2/2/2014" I was expecting one of the worst in the Camel Club series for this book. Turns out it's one of my favorites. I enjoyed the mystery/conspiracy plot that Stone slowly unravels. If you're a Camel Club fan like I am, I highly recommend this one. "
— Ryan, 1/26/2014" Not bad, but I found it to be slow reading. The ending is just too good to be credible. "
— Claudia, 1/18/2014" I really like his Camel Club series and this new one was a very good, interesting story. Hope there will be more in the series. He has a knack for weaving history and current events into the story. "
— Judi, 1/5/2014" Somethings not right, and Oliver Stone has a gut feeling that nothing is as it appears to be. Will he risk the Camel Club members to find out what's really going on?? Another wonderful thriller from Baldacci! "
— Lbd, 12/27/2013" Another Camel Club read. This one was a bit too counter-counter espionage to take too seriously, but it was still a fun read. Obviously, I'd start reading the series from the beginning :) "
— Ben, 12/21/2013" Lot of red herrings! But I enjoyed it. Love the Camel Club books Even when you think it's solved - it's not "
— Doreen, 12/20/2013" Always enjoy Oliver Stone's exploits as a outcast from the Fed. This caper involves an explosion in Lafayette Park across from the White House with all sorts of inexplicable circumstances that take the entire book to figure out. Lots of twists and turns along the way. "
— DWGibb, 10/27/2013" I loved this book. Lots of mystery - who done it style. I listened to it on CD in the car whenever I went somewhere. I couldn't wait to hear more. "
— Clenna, 10/23/2013" Was an excellent read looking forwart to another camel club book.Hell's Corner "

— Sue, 12/6/2012" This book is the final chapter of Oliver Stone/John Carr and his adventures with the Camel club. I wonderful series and this book is no exception. It is a great ending to a great series. I was impressed all the way through and I cant wait to pick up another Baldacci in the near future. "
— Chris, 11/23/2012" Oliver is requested by the FBI to assist in finding out who planted a bomb in Lafayette Park. People keep dying before they can be interviewed so a mole is suspected. "
— Joyce, 10/31/2012" Very slow through most of the book. Not as fast paced or as good a read as other Baldacci novels. I was a little disappointed. "
— Bluann, 8/13/2012" Baldacci is a good writer, interesting book. Continues with characters from the Camel Club series, somewhat relies upon the reader knowing what has happened in the past books. The hero Oliver Stone is aging even faster than Flynn's Mitch Rapp, maybe about time to retire him. "
— Shirley, 6/6/2012" not as great as the other Camel Club novels till now, but still quite a page turner. I hated the too many twists and turns and the relatively ltd role of the Camel Club per se... "
— Ankur, 2/17/2012" One of my favorites from Baldacci. Great details and story intertwining. "
— Niki, 11/22/2011" I think the camel club has run it's course "
— Ronald, 10/27/2011" I've read the other Camel Club books and this one is bringing me right back into the lives of some of my favorite characters! I love the short chapters - it makes it an easy read throughout a busy day! "
— Erika, 10/23/2011" Just read this book, absolutely loved it, as always Baldacci fills the story with loads of twists and turns and shady characters. This is definitely a well paced and written thriller. "
— Jonathan, 10/21/2011" This was probably the best book that I have read by this author so far. There were so many surprises that it kept you on your toes. It starts off a little slow setting things up and giving background information from the other books, but it picks up really quickly. "
