Synopsis

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.

My drive to and from work was so enjoyable these last 2 weeks listening to The Collectors. The readers do a great job bringing the characters to life. The story is fast paced, but Baldacci takes time to develop his characters I especially loved the developing relationship between Oliver and Annabelle. I'm sure there will be more to come in that department in future novels about the quirky Camel Club. Highly recommended, especially if you enjoyed The Camel Club.

Goodreads review by Kelly on June 12, 2012

I just love David Baldacci. I think he is my guilty pleasure when it comes to books. He does such a wonderful job of character development and plot timing. The first part of this book, I was trying and trying to figure out how the two seemingly disconnected stories were going to tie together, and th......more
