From AudioFile:

The Speaker of the House is assassinated, and the director of the Library of Congress is found murdered in an impenetrable locked vault. Oliver Stone, de facto leader of the mysterious Camel Club, learns that America's secrets are being sold and that contracts have been let on the lives of U.S. leaders. Tom Wopat depicts Stone and the secretive members of the club with full attention to defining each character. A secondary plot involving con artist Annabelle Conroy, portrayed by Maggi-Meg Reed, is spellbinding. Reed characterizes Conroy with a sexy, commanding voice and flirtatious manner. The fast pace and intricate plot won't disappoint Baldacci fans. G.D.W. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
