Commentary In Pursuance Of Books Hell's Corner (Camel Club #5)
Oliver Stone and the Camel Club return in #1 bestselling author David Baldacci's most stunning adventure yet.An attack on the heart of power . . .
In sight of the White House . . .
At a place known as . . .
HELL'S CORNER
John Carr, aka Oliver Stone-once the most skilled assassin his country ever had-stands in Lafayette Park in front of the White House, perhaps for the last time. The president has personally requested that Stone serve his country again on a high-risk, covert mission. Though he's fought for decades to leave his past career behind, Stone has no choice but to say yes.
Then Stone's mission changes drastically before it even begins. It's the night of a state dinner honoring the British prime minister. As he watches the prime minister's motorcade leave the White House that evening, a bomb is detonated in Lafayette Park, an apparent terrorist attack against both leaders. It's in the chaotic aftermath that Stone takes on a new, more urgent assignment: find those responsible for the bombing.
British MI-6 agent Mary Chapman becomes Stone's partner in the search for the unknown attackers. But their opponents are elusive, capable, and increasingly lethal; worst of all, it seems that the park bombing may just have been 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. Yet that may be a big mistake.
In the shadowy worlds of politics and intelligence, there is no one you can really trust. Nothing is really what it seems to be. And Hell's Corner truly lives up to its name. This may be Oliver Stone's and the Camel Club's last stand.

A 5-star rating for a book writen by an author whose name is genrally larger than the title on teh dust cover? Yeah, I was shocked too! I am a big fan of David Baldacci and regularly give his books 4-star ratings. But 5? This one was, for me, a hit out of the ball park! Up to this point, I've only read the first book in Baldacci's Camel Club series and if I remember correctly I was particularly overwhelmed by it. The plot of Hell's Corner intrigued me enough to ignore the fact I was going toThis is by far the best of the Camel club series. All the characters (living) from the previous books are brought back to stop this killer. I honestly thought Oliver would die in this book as there have been no other books added to this series in a while. I hope he comes back as this is an engrossing character.
Washington is Babylon! You can't trust anyone, taking a life is just an ordinary every day occurrence. For Oliver Stone, the people of Washington (politics) are truly evil. Hell's Corner takes you through the woods to grandma's house, past Jack the Ripper, dine with Hannibal Lecter, vacation with Jeffrey Dahmer and sleep with Ted Buddy. No one is whom they appear to be. Everyone has their own agenda and all the federal agencies are not sharing what they know amongst each other. Oliver Stone has
A very good read and excellent addition to the Camel Club series. "Oliver Stone" is witness to a bomb going off late at night in Lafayette Park - who was behind this explosion, who were the other people in the park and what exactly were they doing there late at night! Lots of action, twists and turns, some red herrings and some surprises. I enjoyed this book and the whole series and highly recommend it to anyone that likes the "spy world"!From the blurb: n attack on the heart of power . . .In
The last book of an extremely enjoyable series. Intriguing, perfectly paced, action packed, and wonderful characters. I'm on a mission to read everything Baldacci has written, he does not disappoint.
Oliver Stone is recruited by the President of the United States to help serve his country on a top secret mission. In exchange for his services, Stone will never have to worry about the government knocking on his door again. The offer is too good for Stone to refuse. Stone is standing outside in Lafayette park, outside of the White House, enjoying his last night before he heads out of the country. High dignitaries are heading to their cars after being wined and dined at a dinner honoring the
I have never read a David Baldacci novel and was not disappointed. I definitely need to read more of the Camel Club novels.Oliver Stone (aka John Carr), lives simply, as a caretaker of a cemetery, but is called back to duty with the government when a bomb goes off in Lafayette Park in Washington DC (Hell's Corner). British agent, Mary Chapman, becomes his partner and the members of the Camel Club join the team.Intriguing story of political mischief where the government agencies don't communicate
