However I thought the dialogue was (to quote from the text) "out of a bad mobster movie". If you are a fan of David Baldacci you will enjoy this book.  SherrySmith | Oct 23, 2009 |  This instalment of the Camel Club, did not charm me in the way the others did, possibly because it focuses on an additional group of con artists. And it seems like a lot of people die nasty deaths. (  ) alice443 | Oct 3, 2009 | I enjoyed seeing the characters from The Camel Club again. (  ) AdorableArlene | Oct 1, 2009 | Baldacci's second book about the Camel Club, a group of social misfits busting global conspiracy theories. This novel features espionage at the library of Congress and introduces a new member of the club via a "long con" in Atlantic City. This is a good read. The Camel Club members are likeable characters and the plot moves along at a healthy pace. I am finding Baldacci's writing increasingly clunky though, and the dialogue especially in this outing seems contrived. I am hoping for better next time out, one of the plot threads here is left open. (  ) cathymoore | Sep 27, 2009 | Perfect book for reading on airplane. Plenty of action to keep one's attention. Ties together rare books, Atlantic City con, group of avenging talented Vietnam veterans, a professional assassin, and the Library of Congress.
