Synopsis

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.

Baldacci and his wife live in Vienna, VA where they are the founders of "Wish You Well Foundation".

Goodreads review by Paul on August 07, 2024

A literal cliff hanger! Stone Cold brings back The Camel Club in a third successful outing with two story lines loosely crossing each other's paths! In the Camel Club's previous novel, The Collectors, Annabelle Conroy, the beautiful and resourceful con artist extraordinaire, relieved Jerry Bagger, her......more

Goodreads review by Sheyla ✎ on November 26, 2018

Stone Cold kept me on my toes. I had no idea what was going to happen next! As with The Collectors two parallel storylines are being described. The first one involves Annabelle Conroy. Annabelle is the con artist who robbed Jerry Bagger of forty million dollars from his casino as a revenge for ki......more

Goodreads review by Luffy Sempai on August 11, 2020

Yes! He's dead! Finally. This book started well, picked up pace, and ended breathlessly. I am so glad to have read this book in the state of mind that I did. Sometimes a good book is wasted because of the wrong disposition of the reader, but I devoured Stone Cold (vague title, by the way) like it wa......more

Goodreads review by Razvan on August 02, 2024

The first Baldacci book I've read was not a bad one, but the next ones are somehow disappointing, especially the King&Maxwell series. "Stone Cold" is slightly a better one, but it shows some helplessness to reach a more decent level. It has plenty of what I hate more about thrillers. - the hero is f......more

Quotes

"The action is explosive. Readers will barely have time to catch their breath."—People

"He's hit the jackpot again...Baldacci pushes the pace pedal to the floor and takes the turns on two wheels."—New York Daily News

"Baldacci brings an insider's savvy to his tale."—New York Times Books Review

"The modern-day paladins of the Camel Club are back in their third exciting adventure...Gripping, chilling, and full of surprises, Baldacci's latest reveals the anarchy that lurks under the slick facade of corrupted governments."
—Publisher's Weekly (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."
—Richmond Times Dispatch

"Baldacci's intricately woven plotlines, well-developed characters, fast-paced action, and surprise ending will leave readers satisfied and wanting more. A sequel worthy of its predecessors; highly recommended for all fiction collections."
—Library Journal (starred review)
