David Baldacci: On the Web

David is the subject of an interview article titled “20 Questions: David Baldacci” in The Hill.

David Baldacci has mastered the political thriller. Several of his 20 books take readers into the White House, Congress, CIA headquarters and other Washington power spots. His new book, True Blue, once again uses Washington as a backdrop. But this time he looks into local Washington and what it takes to be a police officer in the nation’s capital.

The connections between characters Beth and Mace Perry in David’s latest novel, True Blue, and DC Metropolitan Police Department chief Cathy Lanier is the subject of an article titled “Some Women are Born to Be Blue” in Roll Call.

But D.C.-based author David Baldacci has imagined an even more thrilling life for Lanier in his new book, “True Blue,” which follows the story of a female D.C. police chief and her ex-cop sister.

Chief Cathy Lanier of the DC police remains the subject of speculation as David’s inspiration for Beth and Mace Perry from True Blue in a brief titled “For DC Police Chief Lanier, Life Becomes Arts” on NBC Washington.

D.C.’s top cop can add fictional feat to her resume. She’s apparently inspired two characters in best-selling author David Baldacci’s new murder mystery, “True Blue.”

David’s latest novel, True Blue, is the subject of a review and object of a giveaway contest on Northern Mama.

The character development is excellent, and the research of police investigations and protocol poignant. Baldacci’s thoroughness, and understanding of the law from his personal experiences shines through.

David is listed among other “thriller champions” in a review of Alexander McCall Smith’s The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency in the Colorado Springs Gazette.

Some books are like a jolt of espresso; they get heart rates up and pages flying. These books certainly have their appeal, as evidenced by the great success of their authors. I’m thinking of thriller champions like Harlan Coben, David Baldacci and Michael Connelly.

David’s choice of Chief Cathy Lanier of the DC Metropolitan Police as inspiration for characters in his latest novel, True Blue, is the subject of a brief in “Morning Roundup: Local Ties Edition” on DCist.

Lanier Becomes Literary Inspiration: D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier may have served as the inspiration for two characters in a recently released fictional crime thriller, writes WTOP. David Baldacci’s latest book, “True Blue,” features a fictional D.C. Police Chief Beth Perry, who owns a blind dog. Lanier owns five.

The debut of David’s latest, True Blue, is included among other new thriller releases in an article titled “Thrilling Novels Abound from Reknown [sic] Authors” on South Carolina Now.

True Blue, by David Baldacci ~ A mysterious high-profile homicide in the nation’s capital collides with the dark side of national security in David Baldacci’s new, thriller.

David is the subject of speculation in a post titled “So David Baldacci is the Inspiration for Castle?” on We Love DC.

Just like Castle, Baldacci intends to produce more books in a series about D.C. Police Chief Beth Perry. Unlike Castle there is no mention of Baldacci making his one ride-along a regular event as he and Lanier solve many wacky crimes and trade bon mots.
