5By Wet againWith the help of a beautiful con artist, Annabelle Conroy comes to the aid of the Camel Club after the murder of a rare books expert at the Library Of Congress. What unfolds is a tale with numerous threats on the Camel Club members including Annabelle who has actually become attached to them especially Oliver Stone who saved her life. An amazing read with an obvious sequel. Enjoyed Immensely !!! My highest recommendation!!Collectors

1By Murder and mayhem bookwormI have read many of Baldacci’s books. I quit this one after repeatedly skipping chapters again. And again. Finally stopped reading and wrote this review. Too bad. Gambling Man was also objectionable. No more Baldachi books for me.Amazing Book
5By VagoTamasI loved the storyline and how it will bleed in to the next book.The Collectors
5By Reader louA good read that developed the threads at just the right pace. Complex enough to keep me figuring and people that were very believable. Still, my favorite mystery is The Winner! Thanks SallyIm hooked

5By ChuckwgnBaldacci again delivers a twist and turn adventure. The ending is rather abrupt but ok, I always want the story to continueiBook formatting problem
4By bcampbellBut a good story. I enjoy the character of Oliver Stone (John Carr) and his Camel Club buddies. But it's annoying that the first 1-2 words of each chapter do not display in the iBook App, in Portrait Mode, on my iPhone 5s. I have to rotate the device to Landscape, page forward once, read the words, rotate back to my preferred Portrait orientation, and page backwards to finish reading each Chapters first sentence. I have not seen this issue with other iBooks by this author. So annoying...
