Just submitted the book.
Helped by a beautiful grifter, the "Camel Club"-the four-man band of
conspiracy theorists-returns to battle a threat to national security.
Annabelle Conroy is con-artist extraordinaire; Jerry Bagger, mobster and
mark; and Roger Seagraves, master assassin. All come straight from central
casting. Seagraves is killing high-level government officials, and Conroy is
putting together the con of the century, with Bagger as the target. The
mysterious death of a rare-books expert at the Library of Congress launches
the story, which splits off at first into two different plotlines. In one,
Conroy and her team work their way up to their major score. In the other,
the Camel Club investigates the mysterious death of a close friend. Things
are slightly more exciting in Conroy's world. She's assembling her team,
eager to settle an old score by taking down Atlantic City's most notorious
and ruthless casino owner. After a series of capers out west to build their
bankroll, the team heads back east. There's little drama Players act out
their part; marks fall. The big score comes off without a hitch. The two
plots intersect halfway through. Annabelle arrives in D.C., thanks to an
awkward development, along with a new piece of unfinished business.
Seagraves and the Camel Club are engaged in a cat-and-mouse game, and
Annabelle Conroy is the special guest star. The merged stories reach a
predictable conclusion. An obvious conflict remains unresolved for much of
the way, setting up the next chapter in the saga. A tepid follow-up to The
Camel Club (2005), with few surprises. w heights of suspense.
