David Baldacci spoke to the Associates about Life Between the Pages in February. The event included an introduction by book critic, commentator and Georgetown lecturer Maureen Corrigan, who will be the featured speaker at a Library-sponsored event during Reunion weekend this June.

Best-selling author Baldacci practiced law for nine years in Washington, D.C. before launching his writing career. He has composed several original screenplays and is the cofounder of the non-profit organization, Wish You Well Foundation, which is dedicated to supporting literacy initiatives around America. His novel, The Collectors, examines the mysterious deaths of the U.S. Speaker of the House and the Director of the Library of Congress in connection with the selling of America’s highly classified secrets to several of its enemies. His newest novel, Simple Genius, has just been released.
