Back in March I wrote that Baldacci's Split Second was "extremely disappointing". With The Camel Club, Baldacci redeemed himself...or at least remains on my author-I-read list. A cast of diverse, rich characters make this story about the prevention of a high-level government conspiracy leading to nuclear disaster very entertaining. It's one of those books where you'd like to see a movie made just to see how the characters are all cast. The pace was quick through-out. I took a star off for a couple incredulous plot-twists.
