The Camel Club (Camel Club, Bk 1)
The man known as Oliver Stone has no official past. He spends most days as a protestor camped opposite the White House, with a sign reading 'I WANT THE TRUTH'. His only goal is to keep watch on Washington politics and expose corruption wherever he finds it.
But the stakes are raised when he and his friends, a group of conspiracy theory 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, assigned to monitor the 'investigation', the suicide verdict doesn't ring true. Nearing retirement and a comfortable pension, the last thing he should be doing is sticking his nose where it doesn't belong.
As punishment 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 home town, where a terrorist cell has spent months plotting an event that will shake the world.
Meanwhile, intelligence chief Carter Gray, arguably America's most powerful man since 9/11, is unnevered 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 powers. Alex Ford finds out that his worst nightmare is about to happen...

How we describe the condition of our books
We are very proud of the condition of the books we sell (please read our testimonials to find out more!)
New: Exactly as it says.
As New: Pretty much new but shows small signs of having been read; inside it will be clean without any inscriptions or stamps; might contain a remainder mark.
Very Good: Might have some creases on the spine; no hard cracks; maybe slight forward lean and short inscription inside; perhaps very minor bumping on the corners of the book; inside clean but the page edges might be slightly yellowed.
Good: A few creases on the spine, perhaps a forward lean, bumping on corners or shelfwear; maybe an inscription inside or some shelfwear or a small tear or two on the dustjacket; inside clean but page edges might be somewhat yellowed.
Fair: In overall good condition, might have a severe forward lean to the spine, an inscription, bumping to corners; one or two folds on the covers and yellowed pages; in exceptional cases these books might contain some library stamps and stickers or have neat sticky tape which was used to fix a short, closed tear.
Poor: We rarely sell poor condition books, unless the books are in demand and difficult to find in a better condition. Poor condition books are still perfect for a good read, all pages will be intact and none threatening to fall out; most probably a reading copy only.
