Publisher Description
In this #1 New York Times bestseller of conspiracy and murder, the Camel Club faces their greatest threat yet: a casino king and a stone-cold killer who are determined to bury the truth.
Oliver Stone, the leader of the mysterious group that calls itself the Camel Club, is both feared and respected. Keeping a vigilant watch over our leaders in Washington D.C., the club has won over some allies, but it has also made some formidable enemies.
Annabelle Conroy, an honorary member of the Camel Club, is the greatest con artist of her generation. As an old, powerful mark hunts her down and the Camel Club tries to protect her, a new opponent suddenly arises.
One by one, men from Stone's shadowy past turn up dead. Behind this slaughter stands one man: Harry Finn. To almost all who know him, he's a loving father and husband who uses his skills to keep America safe. But Finn is also an unstoppable killer who now sets his lethal bull's-eye on Oliver Stone. And with Harry Finn, Stone may well have met his match.

"Former friends from Oliver Stone's past are turning up dead and an enemy of his will do anything to keep him from uncovering the truth behind several government secrets. Stone and Annabelle Conroy fight to keep themselves and the Camel Club safe. Good book, my favorite in the series so far."

“Baldacci can do this stuff in his sleep now. Entertaining.”
— Kirkus Reviews -
“Baldacci…really knows how to spin a yarn, and with McLarty he gets a narrator who adds emotional depth to his characters without slowing down the breathless pace of his prose. McLarty uses his distinctive, almost avuncular delivery to excellent purpose in this action-packed thriller...But his art becomes more apparent as he effectively captures the voices of Annabelle, Finn, and a gallery of other characters, including a bitter elderly Russian woman and a world-weary Irish-American man, providing them all a dimension.”
— Publishers Weekly (audio review) -
“Baldacci’s adept character development coupled with deft narration from Ron McLarty makes for an enjoyable listening experience. Once again, Baldacci creates unique parallel stories that evolve and eventually intertwine. The expert McLarty gives clear and recognizable voices to all the characters. In particular, his consistent accents for the old Russian woman and for the acerbic Irish man capture the story’s emotions and help bring home the plotHidden secrets, political espionage, and personal trust all clash in this fast-paced story.”

— Library Journal (starred review) -
It's a sign of Baldacci's skills as a storyteller that he brings so many revenge-themed plots together into a single, riveting thriller. In STONE COLD, he ups the ante. Virtually every character, no matter which side of the power divide he occupies, plays both pursuer and pursued at some point in the novel.

" Just a fun read, especially for those who are followers of Baldacci's "Camel Club." "
— Burt, 2/16/2014 -
" Read this on a short business trip. Very good "Camel Club" book. I think the Camel Club series is the best stuff he has done since "The Winner". "
— Bob, 2/15/2014 -
" I'm a sucker for spies stories, I read this one in 24 hours, bought it at the airport before a 5 hrs. flight, I couldn't put it down. It's one of those books that as you read them it seems you are watching a film, I'll be reading more of Oliver Stones' Camel Club, too bad I started on the 3rd book of the series... "
— Bbb, 2/9/2014 -
" I had to read Stone Cold because The Collectors leaves you knowing that the Camel Club isn't finished yet. Although I enjoyed the story, it wasn't quite as thrilling as Collectors. Still, it is a very enjoyable read. "
— Nichol, 2/5/2014 -
" Spannend! "
— Gwenny, 2/2/2014 -
" The 3rd in the Camel Club series. Loved it! "

— Debi, 1/24/2014 -
" I like this author and I find him easy to read. This is not one of his best books, but definitely kept my attention. "
— Pegrose797, 1/18/2014 -
" A good no-brainer of a read. I read it every morning at the gym, but it'd be a good beach read, too. "
— Meghan, 12/22/2013 -
" excellent!!!! love this series!!! "
— Georganne, 12/10/2013 -
" Baldacci did a great job with this book, you're not sure if the "good guys" are going to win or who really are the "good guys". Once you sort out who the good ones really are, it's tense whether they are actually going to come out ahead.......actaully I'm still not sure if they did! "
— Ruth, 12/5/2013 -
" Very good. At first I missed his cohorts (they were there but not a lot). It seemed like a shorter story but maybe not. Lots of action and suspense. "
— Jeanean, 11/24/2013 -
" A fun read with Oliver Stone and his Camel Club. The characters are always great and you can usually count on Balducci for a good book. "
— Cathe, 11/16/2013 -
" The Camel Club continues with its endeavors in this book, which also introduces a seeming villain who will turn out as a total surprise in the end. Add in a little former KBG action, and it's a superb, thrilling read over a glass of wine in the evenings!! "
— Christiana, 11/3/2013 -
" I recommend reading The Camel Club and The Collectors before reading this book - like the other two books, this book is full of suspense and intrigue. Would definitely recommend! "
— Erica, 9/14/2013 -
" Another solid audiobook - perfect for commuting. "
— Helene, 7/30/2013 -

" Outstanding Camel club Series! I love John Carr/Oliver Stone character! I just got the newest installment, Hell's Corner, and will be listening to it over the next two days1 Love this series and the characters! "
— Dominique, 3/8/2013 -
" Very violent in comparison to his other Camel Club Books, and the story isn't as gripping. It's still an above average read, though. "
— Stephanie, 3/6/2013 -
" Fast paced. Great continuation of the story of Oliver Stone (John Carr) and the misuse of justice by persons within the government. One man's fight for the truth. "
— Paula, 1/20/2013 -
" This return to the fun characters of the Camel Club mixes the covert ops business with family ties. In this breezy action-packed read, Baldacci often has too many balls in the air and the ending is too pat but nonetheless a great beach read. "
— Oldesq, 7/14/2012 -
" This was also a bday present from my husband. My birthday is mid-may and we got married mid-June and I still managed to blow thru both The Collectors and Stone Cold while finishing up last minute wedding plans - now that's some good reading! "
— Nicole, 6/12/2012 -
" An edge-of-your-seat triller of the calibur we've come to expect from Baldacci. Neatly continues the Camel Club series with an unexpected plot twist. Breathtaking! I couldn't put it down! "

— Chris, 6/3/2011 -
" Darker than the previous Camel Club episodes, this one was even faster moving, with a terrific story line. The auxiliary members add to the enjoyment. I've found all the books in this series unputdownable. "
— Carolyn, 5/29/2011 -
" This is the third book in the series. I enjoyed it. It is in the vein of the Bourne Identity spy movies. It is great for listening to in the car because it is action packed and keeps your attention. Looking forward to books #4 and #5. "
