From the Publisher
Oliver Stone and the Camel Club return in #1 bestselling author
David Baldacci''s most stunning adventure yet.
An attack on the heart of power . . .
In sight of the White House . . .
At a place known as . . .
HELL''S CORNER
John Carr, aka Oliver Stone-once the most skilled assassin his
country ever had-stands in Lafayette Park in front of the White
House, perhaps for the last time. The president has personally
requested that Stone serve his country again on a high-risk, covert
mission. Though he''s fought for decades to leave his past career
behind, Stone has no choice but to say yes.
Then Stone''s mission changes drastically before it even begins.
It''s the night of a state dinner honoring the British prime
minister. As he watches the prime minister''s motorcade leave the
White House that evening, a bomb is detonated in Lafayette Park, an
apparent terrorist attack against both leaders. It''s in the
chaotic aftermath that Stone takes on a new, more urgent
assignment: find those responsible for the bombing.
British MI-6 agent Mary Chapman becomes Stone''s partner in the
search for the unknown attackers. But their opponents are elusive,
capable, and increasingly lethal; worst of all, it seems that the
park bombing may just have been the opening salvo in their plan.
With nowhere else to turn, Stone enlists the help of the only
people he knows he can trust: the Camel Club. Yet that may be a big
mistake.
In the shadowy worlds of politics and intelligence, there is no
one you can really trust. Nothing is really what it seems to be.
And Hell''s Corner truly lives up to its name. This may be Oliver
Stone''s and the Camel Club''s last stand.
