Publisher's summary

Oliver Stone and the Camel Club return in number-one best-selling 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, a.k.a. 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.

Love Oliver Stone

I was very happy to see that David Baldacci continued on with the Camel Club books, I truly thought they ended with the last book and was very sad. This book was as great as the others and character development was as good as always. I look forward to the next.

By far my favorite book

This is by far my favorite book from this author and my favorite narrator. I could not put the book down. I love the twists and turns, the complexities, the red herrings, and the end. There was more than once that I audibly gasped at what was happening to the character. Wow....

A great Camel Club book

What did you love best about Hell's Corner?

This is one of the best Camel Club books. I enjoyed the entire book and the twists are unexpected and exciting. Go Oliver and the club!

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Yes, good character development and great twists.

Another edge of your seat thriller

I absolutely loved reading the Camel Club Series and sincerely hope there's more! Great book!

Hells corner.

makes one wonder just how closely this represents the current situation in DC. Hope we have an "Oliver Stone /Camel Club" living g there.

The Best

This is by far my favorite Camel Club book. So many twists and turns and surprises. Can’t wait for the next one!

LOVE THE CLUB

HOW CAN YOU NOT GET INVOLVED WITH THE GANG FROM THE CLUB LOVE ALL THE BOOKS .

Camel Club Continues

Though I've loved some of the earlier books in this series ( I gave 5 stars to Divine Justice) this book was a rehash of several of the previous Camel Club novels. The use of sound effects, however, is childish and unnecessary. They occassionally, especially early in the book, can make it difficult to hear the narration, which is very good. Because there are so many strong female characters the producers employed a woman to read the female parts, and it made for a quicker grasp of the action as the book is read.

Very good book

If you could sum up Hell's Corner in three words, what would they be?

suspense surprise sedentary

Who was your favorite character and why?

Mary, she gave the book a little individuality from other Camel Club books.

Which character – as performed by Ron McLarty and Orlagh Cassidy – was your favorite?

Of course Oliver as don by Ron is so real

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

So you think you have it all figured out ?

Any additional comments?

As you near the end of a Baldacci book leave yourself enough time to finish it at that very setting because you wont put it down.

Usual fantastic read. The camel club is awesome

Very enjoyable listen lots of twists and turn as usual. Recommend this book to anyone. Try and start with the first book of the Camel
Club.
