Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

"Car chases, gunfights, and explosions...The Club rides again...Baldacci has spiked his post-9/11 thrillers with a splash of real-world urgency...Throw in a handful of nifty doube-crosses and misdirections, and you've got the perfect thriller for a weekend of reading."
Richmond Times-Dispatch

"Four stars! Outstanding...demands to be read in one sitting, and readers will be begging for more adventures with Stone and company...The intense puzzle, twists and turns, and characters all showcase why Baldacci is a #1 New York Times bestselling author."
RT Book Reviews

"Grade A...Intelligent and quickly paced."
Cleveland Plain Dealer

"Another winner...Skillfully constructed and very difficult to put down. Baldacci keeps peeling back layers of Stone's psyche, revealing him to be a man full of unresolved conflicts and a potentially self-destructive amount of guilt over his past actions."
Booklist

"Strap on your Clock. Grab an extra magazine of shells. There's danger and excitement lurking around this CORNER."
Kirkus Reviews

"Will literally have readers at a loss for breath...HELL's CORNER is David Baldacci at his best."

Library Journal

In this fifth installment—following Divine Justice (2008)—in Baldacci's (davidbaldacci.com) popular "Camel Club" series, when a bomb detonates across from the White House, the U.S. President and visiting English prime minister are the presumed targets. Following a series of surprising plot twists, former CIA assassin Oliver Stone and his Camel Club, together with British MI-5 agent Mary Chapman, thwart another assassination attempt on the two leaders and uncover the dangerous organization behind the plot. Actors Ron McLarty and Orlagh Cassidy distinctly and believably voice the motley characters, especially mastering well the U.S. regional and British accents. Sound effects such as explosions and gunshots further add to the enjoyment of this book on audio. Highly recommended for all mystery/thriller fans. [Includes a bonus interview between Ron McLarty and the author; "an action-packed, conspiracy-laden, politically intriguing mystery," read the review of the Grand Central hc, LJ 10/15/10, an LJ and New York Times best seller; the Vision mass market pb will publish in June 2011.—Ed.]—Ilka Gordon, Siegal Coll. of Judaic Studies Lib., Cleveland
