Product Description
Known by his alias, "Oliver Stone," John Carr is the most wanted man in America. With two pulls of the trigger, the men who hid the truth of Stone's past and kept him in the shadows were finally silenced. But Stone's freedom has come at a steep price; the assassinations he carried out have prompted the highest levels of the United States Government to unleash a massive manhunt. Joe Knox is leading the charge, but his superiors aren't telling him everything there is to know about his quarry-and their hidden agendas are just as dangerous as the killer he's trying to catch. Meanwhile, with their friend and unofficial leader in hiding, the members of the Camel Club must fend for themselves, even as they try to protect him. As Knox closes in, Stone's flight from the demons of his past will take him far from Washington, D.C., to the coal-mining town of Devine, Virginia-and headlong into a confrontation every bit as lethal as the one he is trying to escape.

 Divine Justice December 1, 2008
I have enjoyed the "Camel Club" stories and must admit that this one was the most enjoyable because the "perils" never ceased until the very end. I think that the main characters have been given more fullness in this book than in his previous stories. This may be a maturity of writing that has been adapted by Mr. Baldacci over the years but it is a better read now.
I do look forward to his next book and hope that this prolific writer is still willing to create new adventures and new characters.
 Best Camel Club Yet November 29, 2008
Best Camel Club Yet
David Baldacci writes a superb thriller with Divine Justice. He weaves together 2 very interesting plots into one action packed novel with many twists and turns. The central thesis revolves around the enigmatic John Carr (aka Oliver Stone) and his attempt to escape the dangerous world of Washington Intelligence after he assassinates two prominent government officials. During his travels he accidentally finds himself embroiled in the mysterious activities of a bucolic Virginia town named Divine. One thing leads to another as he finds himself becoming more and more involved in the strange goings on and even stranger local inhabitants. Couple all this with a massive CIA manhunt for Mr. Stone by the "Company's" best "finder" and you have the makings of a very good story. Needless to say all the usual suspects are present, but what makes the story so interesting is not everyone is who they appear to be. The Camel Club eventually arrives in force to help Oliver Stone, and in the hunt by the CIA's finder, Joe Knox, old revelations of Stone's past come to light that somewhat mitigate his actions. Wrapped up in all this is a master CIA spy who has an old score to settle with Stone, and an evil local super-max prison warden who is dealing in drugs. It all comes together in a climatic conclusion with the good guys winning despite taking some sad losses.
Simply a good story with intersecting plots and dynamic characters. This is undoubtedly the best Camel Club story to date as the characters grow into their individual parts.
Character development is good as Mr. Baldacci continues to expand on each main character. With each Camel Club story we learn more and more about this eclectic band of self-styled investigators. With the introduction of some new characters, it will be very interesting to see if and/or where Mr. Baldacci goes next. There are many possibilities and they all seem good.
No gratuitous sex, language, or violence.
Recommended. Simply a good, solid story with 2 interesting plots. I am looking forward to the next Camel Club adventure.
Fantastic! November 27, 2008
This Camel Club edition is simply a fantastic read. If you love David Baldacci (as I do) you will love this book. If you have never read one of his books, you will fall in love with him after reading Divine Justice. I also highly recommend Michele Cozzens' It's Not Your Mother's Bridge Club
Camel Club Personified November 26, 2008
David Baldacci has written a sequel to the Camel Club series in his usual remarkable form. The parallel action story-line was riveting. No author in my experience can successfully tell two completely separate stories at the same time, interspersing characters and activity at a micro level, as does Baldacci.
Explaining the biography of Oliver Stone/John Carr in this book concerns me as an avid fan as to Baldacci's plans to continue the Camel Club series. However, if he does not, the true enjoyment of having read all four books most assuredly allows me to give props the author deserves.
Having introduced Annabelle as an addition to the group awhile back added a new dimension and certainly tickles the imagination of what might be, should future books be written. My recommendation is absolute, but it also includes reading the entire Camel Club series from the beginning.
