In The Hill

Published by Office Staff under Print, 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.

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 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 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.
