Once, when I picked up a book from the local library, the librarian asked to tell her what I thought about the book when I would bring it back. Well, why not write a few lines about all the books I read so everybody could see what I thought about it? I'm often also happy to have friends recommend a certain book or tell me this and that is not really worth reading. I won't comment about the tons of books I have read so far, but about books I read from now on.

Two seemingly unconnected stories start in this book and it is not before about the middle they finally become somewhat connected.
Annabelle Conroy is planning to relieve someone with a rather heavy bank account of some of his weight. For this she needs some help; a very skilled team and a precisely planned script.
Robert Bradley, a successful and influential politician is shot at a party. Jonathan DeHaven, librarian at the Library of Congress, dies at his workplace. Cause of his death: unclear. Nothing suggests these two deaths, and others to follow, have anything to do with each other. But when the members of the Camel Club have a look into the circumstances of DeHaven's death, they are convinced it was a well orchestrated murder.
As always, David Baldacci captures the reader right from the start and keeps things interesting throughout the whole book, even though the reader knows lots of things already early on and can guess a lot. But the why and how only comes bit by bit. By the way, how are the two stories connected to each other? Well, you'll have to read the book for yourself to find that out, I don't want to spoil it and you won't regret reading the book for yourself.
