My Review of Stone Cold, by David Baldacci
Baldacci's novel, Stone Cold, takes place in Washington D.C. and deals with the power players who are obsessed with terrorism and Homeland Security.
A group of former CIA operatives and Special Forces soldiers make up a group called the Camel Club and are lead by an unassuming man named Oliver Stone. The Camel Clubs job is to keep an eye on those in power, in this case, especially the former head of intelligence, Carter Gray, a man who still has a lot of behind the scenes power.
Carter is forced to go underground when an attempt is made on his life. He leaves the world thinking that he is dead. The Camel Club assumes the same as Stone met with Gray earlier in the day of his assassination attempt. This attempt and some other recent killings leave Stone feeling uneasy as many of the attacks seem to be targeted at a group that Stone was a member of in the past, The Triple Sixes, which was an elite killing squad.
One of the members of the Camel Club, Annabelle Conroy, appears at Stone's cottage. She requests his assistance with a situation which is the pursuit of a man named Jerry Bagger, who she conned out of a fortune. Stone is happy to help until her learns that the recent assassinations hint that he may be one of the next targets along with Annabelle.
From here a wild card character is thrown in the mix and a volatile boiling pot is made with the heroes, villains, killers and crooks. This book is exciting, full of suspense and is hard to put down.
If you like action/mysteries with a military/conspiracy theory than you will love this book.
Stone Cold, by Steve Baldacci
"This is an exciting, fast paced thrill ride for anyone who likes a good action/mystery."

Stone Cold (Abridged)Stone Cold (Unabridged)
Oliver Stone and the Camel Club are back in their most dangerous adventure yet, a war on two fronts.
Casino king Jerry Bagger from THE COLLECTORS is hunting Annabelle Conroy who conned him out of millions. Stone and his colleagues Reuben, Milton, and Caleb marshal all their resources to protect Annabelle.
Yet all their skills may not be enough when a deadly new opponent rips off the veneer of Stone's own mysterious past.
Bagger's menace pales next to newcomer Harry Finn's lethality. Seeming a normal family-man, Finn has already killed three men with more targets to come. When Finn also sets his bulls-eye on Stone, his reason why will be the greatest shock of all, making readers reconsider their beliefs in good and evil.
As bodies and institutions topple, the story rockets toward a shattering finale that will leave the survivors of this explosive tale changed forever.
