John Carr, aka Oliver Stone-once the most skilled assassin his
country ever had-stands in Lafayette Park in front of the White
House, perhaps for the last time. The president has personally
requested that Stone serve his country again on a high-risk, covert
mission. Though he's fought for decades to leave his past career
behind, Stone has no choice but to say yes.
Then Stone's mission changes drastically before
it even begins. It's the night of a state dinner honoring the
British prime minister. As he watches the prime minister's
motorcade leave the White House that evening, a bomb is detonated
in Lafayette Park, an apparent terrorist attack against both
leaders. It's in the chaotic aftermath that Stone takes on a new,
more urgent assignment: find those responsible for the
bombing.
British MI-6 agent Mary Chapman becomes Stone's
partner in the search for the unknown attackers. But their
opponents are elusive, capable, and increasingly lethal; worst of
all, it seems that the park bombing may just have been the opening
salvo in their plan. With nowhere else to turn, Stone enlists the
help of the only people he knows he can trust: the Camel Club. Yet
that may be a big mistake.
In the shadowy worlds of politics and
intelligence, there is no one you can really trust. Nothing is
really what it seems to be. And Hell's Corner truly lives up to its
name. This may be Oliver Stone's and the Camel Club's last
stand.
