Was asking this question but found the answer.Has anyone read this book if so without giving any spoilers, does the con artist plot line meet up with the Camel Club plot?
So does anyone read him and whats there favoriteso far.
Mines been The Hit and the first in the series of The Camel Club. It is book 2 of the Camel Club series yes and I found out my question.she teams up with the Camel Club at her parted husbands funeral who death the club looking into. I belive shes in the 3 book which I don't have yet although cant see he becoming a member of the club although shes a good character and very handy You should also read his books in the Amos Decker series
David BaldacciCategoriesAmos Decker Series I read most of his different series Maxwell and King, John Puller which the second in the series I thought way better than the first. And read all the Will Robie which the middle 2 I thought the best The Innocent and The Guilty were more detective story's than assassins.The Hit my favorite book of the last 2 years.
I read The Memory Man and have The Last Mile.
And rate his stand alone Absolute Power very high.
I have read 12 of his books and have most of the others, about 4 missingnot including shot story's and the one that.s similar to the Hunger Games. //static.avforums.com/styles/avf/smilies/clap.gif Just got an e-mail that this is coming out soon SPOILER for The Hit and possibly others leading up to this story. End Game (Will Robie series): Amazon.co.uk: David Baldacci: 9781447277408: Books
End Game is the fifth book in the thrilling Will Robie series by international number one bestselling author David Baldacci.
London is on red alert. Will Robie, as the US government’s most lethal assassin, is called in to foil a terrorist attack on the London Underground. An attack serving as a test run for a much larger plot to take place on US soil. Trained to neutralize threats without leaving a trace, he’s an indispensable asset to his country.
But then reports come in that his mentor, Blue Man, real name Roger Walton, has gone missing while visiting his home town in Colorado. Fearing he’s been kidnapped, Robie, and fellow agent Jessica Reel, are sent to investigate. The high-ranking CIA official holds secrets that could threaten national security if released and so only the best will do in tracking him down.
This tight-knit community close to the Rocky Mountains holds many secrets and people there are more than willing to take the law into their own hands at the first sign of trouble. To them, two government agents are just that.
As their investigation deepens, Robie and Reel come into contact with white supremacists and a cult that call themselves the King’s Apostles. But are either group implicated in the disappearance of Walton? When the truth emerges it will test them both to their very limits . . . Finished Mr Baldacci third in the series of the Camel Club Stone Cold. Although it could be read as a standalone story does help if the read book 2 The Collectors.
The Collectors is not as good as the first in the series but is good, and introduces a character who's plot line continued in to Stone Cold.
In this story it continues from a con in book 2 and there is also a killer who is killing ex-agents and people who were involved with an assassination,Oliver Stone/John Carr is one on the list but then John Carr is dead!
Baldacci again manged to have a few plots going from the heroes point of view and some from the antagonist side but is a master of keeping them tidy so you never not know whats going on. The only fault with the book is one part is a bit fantastic were someone pulls something off nigh impossible.
Of the 3 books so far Id say in percentages to give their place. 1/94% 2/84% and 3/97% and so far this is my book of the year. I spotted this on sale at The Works £2 for the paperback, can be sent to your local Works if you open an accout or already have one. They may even have in store.
I not got round to reading this one yet.

The second book is a story more or less story in itself but has a thread that continues into the third.
Description of the first book.
The Camel Club by bestselling sensation David Baldacci is the exciting first instalment of a breathtaking series.
The man known as Oliver Stone has no official past. He spends most days camped opposite the White House, hoping to expose corruption wherever he finds it. But the stakes are raised when he and his friends, a group of conspiracy theorist misfits known as The Camel Club, accidentally witness the murder of an intelligence analyst. Especially when the authorities are seemingly happy to write it off as a suicide.
For Secret Service agent Alex Ford, monitoring the 'investigation', the suicide verdict doesn't ring true. As punishment for sticking his nose where it doesn't belong, he is reassigned to bodyguard duties. His abilities are tested to the limit when he is sent to protect the President during a visit to his hometown, where a terrorist cell has spent months plotting an event that will shake the world.
Meanwhile, America's powerful intelligence chief Carter Gray is unnerved when he glimpses the face of an old acquaintance in Arlington Cemetery - but it is the face of a man supposedly long dead . . .
And as The Camel Club is poised to expose a conspiracy that reaches into the heart of Washington's highly secretive corridors of power, Alex Ford finds out that his worst nightmare is about to happen . . .
