Hell's Corner by David Baldacci
4.0
So here I am. Years later. This is it. The last book in The Camel Club series. I had just finished Book 4, “Divine Justice” when I discovered there was a Book 5. My review for (Book 4) “Divine Justice” is here: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/6523230689
I almost feel sad saying goodbye to the series. But in many ways, I feel happy because it took me this long to even realize that there were two last books in the series that I hadn’t realized existed until recently. So, this was like a happy reunion, too.
I am breathing it all in. Re-entering the world of Oliver Stone aka John Carr as he is called into service for the President of the United States on a special mission to investigate a bombing that occurred at Lafayette Park, known as Hell’s Corner, located across from the White House. (Hence: the title of the book!)
Who could have been responsible? And who was the target? Was it the British Prime Minister? Or someone else? And why?
But most importantly, who would do this?
Oliver Stone who is comfortable working alone, but now finds himself once again working for the government, a team, and an MI6 agent, named Mary Chapman to discover the truth behind the attacks.
“The bogeyman appeared to be winning the war of perception in the hearts and minds of the citizenry.”
So, how would they tackle this unknown “bogeyman.” Could it be the Russians, or drug dealers out of Mexico? And why specifically when the British Prime Minister was visiting the President?
And, when things seem to be getting too hard to handle, will the Camel Club members come into play to help save the day?
Readers can plan on a lot of twists, turns, action, suspense, diversions, short chapters, an unexpected finale (did anybody expect this one?), well-developed characters and loss of sleep to finish this last book. I certainly did!
