Stone Cold — 

A few books ago David Baldacci introduced us to his group of Washington, DC misfits that styled themselves as The Camel Club. Stone Coldis his third return to that group. The leader lives in a run down place in a cemetery where he is the caretaker. Oliver Stone is much more than he appears, however, having once been a member of an elite killer team for the CIA before they turned on him and he had to pretend to die and go into hiding. Milton has a photographic memory and a way with computers. Rueben did his time in some tough military situations before succumbing to drink. Caleb works at the Library of Congress as a librarian.

Alex Ford, a Secret Service agent, is an honorary member of the club and Annabelle Conroy has sort of joined since the second novel. Annabelle is being pursued by an Atlantic City casino owner she conned out of forty million dollars. Someone is methodically killing the team Oliver used to belong to. He is caught between a rock and a hard place in trying to protect Annabelle and to keep out of the sights of the unknown killer. It all boils into a cauldron of action, suspense, and intrigue.

I am looking for a good book to take to Florida next week. Maybe this will be it. [Well, one like it; I wouldn't take yours.]

LOL. I totally know how that is. I mean to just read a little but then it's hours later. That means it's a GOOD book!

I'm worried about that tonight myself. I'm at the peak of the book and only half way through. Honey may be yelling at me when I don't get up before noon tomorrow. lol

My problem is, when I find a really good book, I have trouble putting it down. I want to read it all NOW. I often read a book in a few days at the most because I can't stop reading it! I have a book here I want to read and I think I will set aside some time before I go to sleep to read it and NOT get all OCD and read the whole thing in one night. lol.

I really enjoy reading and would hate not having the time. I'm on a Stuart Woods novel now set in the time when Tricky Dicky was the counsel to the House Unamerican Activities Committee. It has me absorbed.

This is a book my father would have loved. He always liked suspenseful action type books. I do too but find I have less and less time to read books these days. I hate that!
