Librarian's note: there are five novels and a short story in the author's Camel Club series. It's all yours to enjoy as David Baldacci weaves a white-knuckle tale of suspense in which every collector is searching for one missing prize: the one to die for. When Annabelle Conroy, the greatest con artist of her generation, struts onto the scene in high-heeled boots, the Camel Club gets a sexy new edge.
