Biographie et Parcours de l'Auteur
David Baldacci grew up in Virginia and has described writing as a habit that began in childhood, first encouraged by a notebook his mother handed him and then pursued seriously in high school. A Richmond-area native, he earned a political science degree from Virginia Commonwealth University and a law degree from the University of Virginia, then spent roughly a decade in Washington, D.C., as a trial and corporate lawyer. That legal training sharpened his sense that stories turn on precision, persuasion, and the weight of a single word, ideas he has later said shaped both his courtroom work and his fiction.
