The Camel Club
The Camel Club
by David Baldacci
Review by Jonny Zetterström
Oliver Stone is a mysterious man. Obviously it’s a taken name used by the caretaker of a cemetery who spends a great amount of his time in a tent in Washington, D.C. The tent on one side of the street and the White House on the other.
The story unfolds as the Camel Club holds a private meeting but ends up bearing witness to a murder of an employee of the NIC — National Intelligence Center. Meanwhile a group of arabs prepares for an attack on the President of the United States.
Suddenly the conspiracy theories no longer seem so far fetched.
Honestly, yes, it did take some time to “get into” the book but after reading the first few chapters I was hooked. Baldacci is an excellent writer and one of my favorite ones — for a reason. I was hooked. I loved the book and I had to try hard not to bite my fingernails in the suspense.

Just finished The Camel Club about 1 month ago and picked up The Collectors, which is an obvious follow up to the Camel Club. On the very last page of the Collectors, which I just finished, Annabelle Conroy was still being pursued by Big Bad Jerry. Which one of Balducci’s books is the follow up to the Collectors????? Does anyone know what happened to Annabelle???
thanks

There is a follow up to the Collectors as well: “Stone Cold”.
I’ve read it and liked it but I haven’t written a review (yet)
