An Evening With David Baldacci

We're delighted to welcome bestselling author David Baldacci to Melbourne on his first ever visit to Australia!

Best known for his suspense novels and legal thrillers, David is a former trial lawyer who has seamlessly transitioned his expertise in law into the crafting of gripping narratives, making him one of the most prominent writers in the genre. His first book, Absolute Power, became an international bestseller, transformed also into a movie starring Clint Eastwood that was a major box office hit. In total, David has published 50 novels, with 150 million copies sold worldwide.

Join us in January for one of only two Australian events at The Capitol, as David speaks about his new book To Die For. A booksigning will follow the event, and both To Die For and past titles will be available on the evening.
