The Camel club by David Baldacci

"The Camel club" by David Baldacci. This book is published by Pan MacMillan in 2011 and has 704 pages. This is Book 1 of the series.

Oliver Stone, keeper of a cemetery, is a man with no past. He and his bunch of rag tag friends call themselves 'The Camel club'. They are patriots who do good things for the country but remain anonymous and dabble in conspiracy theories.

A set of middle Eastern terrorists led by an American has planned and executed the most daredevil terrorist attack in America. The President has gone missing. Where is the President? Who are the terrorists? What is the plot? How does The Camel Club get involved? Can they do something? Who exactly is Oliver Stone?

It's a David Baldacci book, so you don't get bored. Introduction to Camel club takes some time. Murder of a government operative in the beginning starts the story on a fast note.

Oliver Stone is an enigma. His background comes out bit by bit. His relationship with young detective is easy to guess.

Kidnapping of the President of America on American soil and announcing to release him in Medina is a very bold plot. It is not abundantly clear why the perpetrator plots such an elaborate plan. It's also not clear why Grey decides to sacrifice his boss.

Nevertheless it's a light and fast story. A thriller. A bunch of people can do what all the intelligence agencies can not do.

The perpetrator escapes thereby making provision for next book. It's a good time pass book that you can read without taxing your brain.

Read if you plan to read the 'Camel club' series.
