#1 New York Times
bestselling author David Baldacci introduces a remarkable new character:
Atlee Pine, an FBI special agent assigned to the remote wilds of the
western United States. Ever since her twin sister was abducted by a
notorious serial killer at age five, Atlee has spent her life hunting
down those who hurt others. And she’s the best at it. She could be one
of the Bureau’s top criminal profilers, if she didn’t prefer catching
criminals in the vast wilderness of the West to climbing the career
ladder in the D.C. office. Her chosen mission is a lonesome one–but that
suits her just fine.
Now, Atlee is called in to investigate the
mutilated carcass of a mule found in the Grand Canyon–and hopefully,
solve the disappearance of its rider. But this isn’t the only recent
disappearance. In fact, it may be just the first clue, the key to
unraveling a rash of other similar missing persons cases in the canyon...
David Baldacci has been writing
since childhood, when his mother gave him a lined notebook in which to
write down his stories. (Much later, when David thanked her for being
the spark that ignited his writing career, she revealed that she’d given
him the notebook to keep him quiet, "because every mom needs a break
now and then.”) He published his first novel, Absolute Power,
in 1996; it was subsequently adapted for film, with Clint Eastwood as
its director and star. In total, David has published 36 novels for
adults; all have been national and international bestsellers, and
several have been adapted for film and television. His novels have been
translated into more than 45 languages and sold in more than 80
countries, with over 130 million worldwide sales. David has also
published six novels for younger readers.
A lifelong Virginian,
David graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University and the University
of Virginia School of Law, after which he practiced law in Washington,
D.C.
David and his wife, Michelle, are the co-founders of the Wish You Well Foundation®,
which supports family and adult literacy in the United States. In 2008
the Foundation partnered with Feeding America to launch Feeding Body
& Mind, a program to address the connection between literacy,
poverty and hunger. Through Feeding Body & Mind, more than 1 million
new and used books have been collected and distributed through food
banks to families in need.
David and his family live in Virginia.
