About the Camel Club series

The Camel Club is an unofficial team of Washington D.C. outsiders — a group of self-appointed watchdogs led by the enigmatic Oliver Stone (a former top-secret government assassin now living as a recluse across from the White House) who gather to investigate conspiracies the official system won't touch. Around Stone, David Baldacci assembles a memorable ensemble: Secret Service agent Alex Ford, tech specialist Caleb Shaw, librarian Milton Farb, and later Secret Service agent Annabelle Conroy, each bringing skills the group needs when a case runs into government cover-ups, assassination plots and conspiracies reaching into the highest levels of Washington power.

Launched in 2005, the series pairs Baldacci's trademark Beltway-insider plotting with a genuine found-family dynamic among its unlikely investigators, and Stone's mysterious past as a disavowed government operative gives the series a running mystery that deepens across its five novels. It sits squarely alongside Baldacci's other Washington-set political thrillers, and the character makes a later crossover appearance in the Will Robie series. Readers who enjoy conspiracy-driven thrillers with a tight ensemble cast and a strong sense of place in D.C.'s corridors of power are the natural audience.
