THE CAMEL CLUB by David Baldacci

The man known as Oliver Stone has no official past. He spends his days camped opposite the White House, his only goal to keep watch on Washington politics and to expose corruption.

The stakes are raised when he and his friends, a group of conspiracy-theory misfits known as the Camel Club, witness the murder of an intelligence analyst. The authorities are keen to write it off as a suicide, but for Secret Service agent Alex Ford, that doesn't ring true. Nearing retirement and a comfortable pension, Alex knows that he should absolutely not stick his nose in this affair. But he can't resist and, as punishment, is reassigned as a bodyguard to the President. Awaiting them is a terrorist cell that has spent months plotting their attack.

Meanwhile, intelligence chief Carter Gray - possibly to most powerful man in America - is unnerved when he glimpses the face of an old acquaintance in Arlington Cemetary. It is the face of a man supposedly long dead.

And as the Camel Club is poised to unveil a conspiracy that reaches into the heart of Washington's secretive corridors of power, Alex Ford's worst nightmare is about to happen...
