This book is my favorite in the Camel Club series by far! The story was filled with so many twists & turns that is was quite the breathless ride. I couldn't put it down for the last half & felt like I held my breath the entire time I was reading!
It tells the story of Soviet & American spies during the Cold War. Without giving too much away there is a great deal of murder & treason involved...along with a great con. I am in love with the character of Annabelle Conroy & so glad that Baldacci decided to bring her along for the ride in this installment too. Looking forward to the next chapter in the Camel Club saga!!!!

Entertaining while watching, completely forgettable afterwards.
This is your standard Cold War spy movie with a non-linear time line. I know this film was supposed to be released last year, but Lionsgate pushed it back because of allegations against Luc Beeson. The cast did zero promotional appearances, and I maybe saw the trailer twice.
I went because a) I like seeing women kick some ass and 2) Luke Evans and Cillian Murphy. I did truly find it engaging while I was watching it, it definitely held my attention. But then, a day later, I almost completely forgot about it. Which, is not a good thing. I even had it rated higher right after the movie.

Looking rather dated now but was considered way ahead for it's time, I found this film very intriguing as it came at a time when computers weren't quite in every home and many were paranoid as to their actual power and what they were capable of.
If you can look past the cluncky and very old hardware and the story in isolation there is a very tense and enjoyable us versus them government conspiracy chess game that moves at pace towards a satisfying but typical 80s conclusion.
Broderick and Sheedy make great protagonists and were great cast choices, it's rather cheesy now but for me a great look back at 80s cold war paranoia.
