It is No. 4 of the Camel Club saga. Oliver Stone after 30 years on the run decides to silence two powerful men who destroyed his life. He disappears for six months, his friends don't even know where he is, until he decides to flee to a lost town called Divine - hence the title of the book - because he knows they are trying to find him. The Camel Club risks everything to save him. 

It is a fast-paced book from start to finish. The town he arrives in is full of secrets, drug addiction and corruption that Stone tries to uncover to help the victims and the innocent. Besides the action without limits this thriller leads to questioning if it is legitimate to take justice into one's own hands, if it is lawful to kill obeying a superior's order, the limits of punishment to prisoners..... It has a long scene with explicit sex; the tortures, besides being inhuman, are unpleasant from the point of view of the most elementary modesty. It uses vulgar language.
