About the author

David Baldacci has been writing since childhood, when his mother gave him a lined notebook in which to write down his stories. (Much later, when David thanked her for being the spark that ignited his writing career, she revealed that she’d given him the notebook to keep him quiet, "because every mom needs a break now and then.”)

David published his first novel, Absolute Power, in 1996; the feature film adaptation followed, with Clint Eastwood as its director and star. In total, David has published 52 novels for adults; all have been national and international bestsellers, and several have been adapted for film and television. David has also published seven novels for younger readers. His books are published in over 45 languages and in more than 80 countries, with over 200 million copies sold worldwide.

In addition to being a prolific writer, David is a devoted philanthropist, and his greatest efforts are dedicated to his family’s Wish You Well Foundation®. Established by David and his wife, Michelle, the Wish You Well Foundation supports family and adult literacy programs in the United States.

A lifelong Virginian, David is a graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University and the University of Virginia School of Law.

Reviews

[Sandra · Rating 5 out of 5]

A great selection of stories. Happy that I read them all. They each had a unique story, but even though it is so different than anything I have read in the past, The Lion was a areal gripper. I reviewed each book separately, and would recommend any of them.

Good plot but had difficulty knowing who characters were. A mother's dogged persistance in finding the truth regarding her daughter's tragedy on a cruise pays off in the end. Although the daughter is gone closure is obtained.

Casting into Doubt RD Condensed books.
