O autorovi

David Baldacci

David Baldacci pochází z Richmondu. Dlouhou dobu pracoval u renomované právnické firmy ve Washingtonu jako obhájce u soudu, ale celé roky při tomto zaměstnání pěstoval zajímavého koníčka: psal prózu. Náměty čerpal ze starších i zcela nových soudních případů. Úspěchu dosáhl doslova ze dne na den, když mu v roce 1996 vydali první román Absolute Power , který byl vzápětí zfilmován s Clintem Eastwoodem v hlavní roli. Kromě psaní se dnes Baldacci věnuje také vedení kurzů pro začínající spisovatele a charitativní činnosti
