David Baldacci

The Richard and Judy Book Club, exclusive to WHSmith

Travis Devine, the character at the heart of this week’s Book Club novel The 6.20 Man, has survived combat tours in Afghanistan and Iraq, but soon finds himself wrapped up in a different kind of danger in the cut throat world of high finance.

Author David Baldacci joins Richard and Judy to explain why he was ready to get out of his comfort zone as a writer by creating new characters and exploring new worlds through them. They also talk about some of the real life events that inspired parts of the storyline – namely the Pandora and Panama Papers – and how real world politics is being impacted by vast sums of money.
