Synopsis

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 had never read any of Baldacci’s books, but when I got to Puerto Rico and found that there were no books in my parents' house, coupled with no bookstores in the area, I remedied the situation with eBay: 100 books for $45 including shipping.

So here I am. Years later. This is it. The last book in The Camel Club series. I had just finished Book 4, “Divine Justice” when I discovered there was a Book 5. My review for (Book 4) “Divine Justice” is here: [URL not allowed] I almost feel sad saying goodbye to the series.......more

Oh my David -- I long for the days gone by when you really dug deep for your clues -- and drove mystery and intrigue from carefully deposited hints and facts -- etc-- But this one seems so convenient-- Whatever you need --you just write it in-- without allowing us to find the foreshadowing you used......more

4 Stars. Heart pounding in so many places with no answer to the question, "What's happening here?" But throughout it all, one gets the feeling that the confusion and complications are deliberate. That's a drawback. Oliver Stone has just had a private meeting with President Brennan; don't forget that......more

Goodreads review by Vignesh on December 28, 2018

Rating - 10/10(Masterpiece) - A web of complicated plots, love! After finishing up the fourth book in the series, I thought it was a good ending to the series.
