David Baldacci strana 11 z 11

Lidé sbírají známky, zátky od piva nebo obrázky hokejistů, ale Roger Seagraves sbírá věci svých obětí. Zároveň prodává tajné informace tomu, kdo zaplatí nejvíc. David Baldacci předkládá strhující thriller ze současné Ameriky, ve kterém nechybí spiknutí zasahující do nejvyšších politických kruhů, vražda předsedy sněmovny a podivná smrt ředitele oddělení vzácných tisků Kongresové knihovny. Stranou událostí nemůže stát ani Camel club, podivná parta společenských vyděděnců, kterou vede tajemný Oliver Stone. Jeho přítel a člen klubu Caleb Shaw se ocitne v ohrožení, protože ani sbírání vzácných knih není tak úplně nevinná a bezpečná záliba. Čtyři muži s podivnou minulostí a půvabná zlodějka se opět vydávají po horké stopě nejen do depozitářů, ale i k tajemným sběratelům knih.

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 . . .
