David Baldacci’s novels are not just set in Washington D. C., they grow organically out of the compost heap of rotten scraps created by corrupt federal officials and businesses that thrive off of government. The characters know the back alleys and non-public spaces as well as the public glitz of Washington D.C. In other words, setting is important.

Three video clips of interviews of David Baldacci were conducted by the Book Maven, Bethanne Patrick and published on her blog, Author, Author for WETA.
Interview I about the book, Divine Justice, and southwestern Virginia where Baldacci grew up. (February 4, 2009).
Interview II about Divine, Virginia and about Baldacci’s Wish You Well Foundation, which promotes literacy, book by book by book. (February 5, 2009.)
