Publisher Description

While a gifted con artist plots against the most ruthless businessman in the world, the Camel Club must stop a renegade CIA agent from selling American secrets to the highest bidder in this #1 New York Times bestselling thriller. The assassination of the speaker of the House has rocked the nation. And the Camel Club has found a chilling connection with another death: that of the director of the Library of Congress's Rare Books and Special Collections Division. The club's unofficial leader, a man who calls himself Oliver Stone, discovers that someone is selling America to its enemies one secret at a time. Then Annabelle Conroy, the greatest con artist of her generation, comes to town and joins forces with the Camel Club for her own reasons. And Stone will need all the help she can give, because the two murders are hurtling the Camel Club into a world of espionage that is bringing America to its knees.

"One of my favorites in the Camel Club Series! I'm a librarian & Washington D.C. is my favorite city so this book was set up for me. I also loved that the setting was the Library of Congress which is one if my favorite places in the world! I fell in love with the character Caleb & he only continues to grow on me as the story continues."

    " it was ok. well, better than the first one at least, but not by much. better in the sense that i didn't have to shell out $20 or $30 for a copy. i instead grabbed a public library edition. "

    " Kind of gruesome. Set in Washington D.C. It is a murder mystery though so I guess that comes with the territory. It is slow in some spots, but overall a good read. "

    " This is the second book in a series of three, but I read this one after reading the third - not a good idea. This one kind of bored me in comparison with the first and third. Maybe because I "knew" what was going to happen in this one because I'd already read the third one and they referenced this one. I really like these characters, but this book just dragged on for me. I really liked the third one and am looking forward to the fourth in the series - 'cuz I know there will be one Baldacci is still one of my favorite authors, so I won't stop reading his books - just wouldn't recommend this one as quickly as others.

    " My first with Baldacci. This book held my interest and moves swiftly. It explores the human mind when that mind is programmed for murder, esponiage and intrigue, all for the glory so to speak of the country. Fast moving - somewhat like Vince Flynn novels. "

    " I found this to be a much better constructed story than my previous Baldacci read, First Family. The subplots intertwine nicely. And I'm also a sucker for a D.C. based political mystery. Might as well read #3 as there is some unfinished business with number 2. Haven't read #1..... "

    " I was looking for mindless entertainment on a plane ride, and that is exactly what I found. Baldacci's character development and writing are both fine, but there was nothing to distinguish this book from the multitude of others. A month later, I can't even remember much about the plot. "

    " Good book. These Camel Club series really wakes ones eyes up to the amount of information the government has on us.
