An evening with ... David Baldacci

David Baldacci will join us in conversation with Tim Ridout, Q&A and signing. About David Baldacci David Baldacci is an award-winning global #1 bestselling author, and one of the world’s favourite thriller writers. A former trial lawyer with a keen interest in world politics, he has specialist knowledge of the US political system and intelligence services. His first book, Absolute Power, became an instant international hit, with the movie starring Clint Eastwood a major box office success. He has since written more than fifty novels featuring a variety of characters including Walter Nash, Travis Devine, Amos Decker and Aloysius Archer. David is also the co-founder, along with his wife, of the Wish You Well Foundation, a non-profit organisation dedicated to supporting literacy efforts across the US. About Hope Rises The latest gripping thriller from the multimillion copy global bestseller Walter Nash returns… An ordinary family man thrown into a dangerous underworld Once upon a time, Walter Nash was a mild-mannered, hard-working, happy man. Minding his own business, looking after his family. Everything changed when the FBI revealed his company as a criminal empire and enlisted him in a daring mission to dismantle it. Driven by justice and revenge, Nash was forced to dive into a very dark world… One that shattered his life. Underestimate Water Nash at your peril, because a man who has lost everything is capable of anything… Walter Nash isn’t the man he used to be.
