Book description
The man known as Oliver Stone has no official past. He spends most days
camped opposite the White House, hoping to expose corruption wherever he
finds it. But the stakes are raised when he and his friends, a group of
conspiracy theorist misfits known as The Camel Club, accidentally
witness the murder of an intelligence analyst. Especially when the
authorities are seemingly happy to write it off as a suicide. For Secret
Service agent Alex Ford, monitoring the 'investigation', the suicide
verdict doesn't ring true. As punishment for sticking his nose where it
doesn't belong, he is reassigned to bodyguard duties. His abilities are
tested to the limit when he is sent to protect the President during a
visit to his hometown, where a terrorist cell has spent months plotting
an event that will shake the world. Meanwhile, America's powerful
intelligence chief Carter Gray is unnerved when he glimpses the face of
an old acquaintance in Arlington Cemetery - but it is the face of a man
supposedly long dead . . . And as The Camel Club is poised to expose a
conspiracy that reaches into the heart of Washington's highly secretive
corridors of power, Alex Ford finds out that his worst nightmare is
about to happen . . .
