What if government leaders and citizens around the
world united on a crusade that was completely fabricated through
the workings of the Internet and savvy public relations? This scenario
is the basis of #1 New York Times bestselling author David
Baldacci’s first novel set overseas, THE
WHOLE TRUTH, a high-stakes drama involving an imagined, but
quite possible global crisis.
Nicholas Creel is a man on a mission. He heads up
the world’s largest defense contractor, the Ares Corporation.
He’s retained Richard Pender to “perception manage”
his company to even more riches by manipulating world conflicts.
Shaw (no first name), a man with a truly unique past, travels the
world reluctantly doing the bidding of a secret multi-national intelligence
agency in order to keep the world safe—and at peace. Katie
James, a journalist who will do anything to get back to the top
of her profession, has just received a mysterious offer to interview
the sole survivor of a recent massacre.
In this terrifying thriller with an international
setting that takes readers from the United States to Amsterdam,
Dublin, Edinburgh, Heidelberg, London, and Paris—a travel
trajectory that Baldacci himself embarked upon while researching
his novel—these characters’ lives will collide head-on
as a series of events is set in motion that could change the world
as we know it. An utterly spellbinding story that feels all-too-real,
THE WHOLE TRUTH goes beyond anything
Baldacci has written before.
