The Whole Truth

Written by David Baldacci

Narrated by Ron McLarty

'I need a war . . .'

Nicolas Creel, a super-rich arms dealer, decides that the best way to boost his business is to start a new cold war - and he won't let anything or anyone get in his way.

As international tensions rise and the superpowers line up against each other, the lives of three very different people will never be the same again. As intelligence agent Shaw, academic Anna Fischer and ambitious journalist Katie James are all drawn into Creel's games, can anything stop the world from spiralling out of control?

The Whole Truth by David Baldacci is a terrifying global thriller that delivers all the twists and turns, emotional drama, unforgettable characters and can't-put-it-down pacing that Baldacci fans expect - and still goes beyond anything he's written before.

The Whole Truth is followed by a second Shaw and Katie James novel, Deliver Us From Evil.

Reviews for The Whole Truth

[Jacques Hollands · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

What a pleasant surprise. I have often come across David Baldacci's books but never read any of them. However, on a long drive yesterday, on the insistence of my father, I listened to The Whole Truth on Scribd and thoroughly enjoyed it. The narration by Ron McLarty was first-class too.

The action and suspense had a Bourne feel about it, and I am surprised that a film hasn't been made based on the book. The writing was excellent throughout with relatable and well-developed characters. Twists and turn abound, but not ludicrously so.

I noticed there is one more book in the series, and frankly, I am surprised. I would have thought that Baldacci could have written an extensive series based on the Shaw character. I can't wait to read more of David Baldacci's books.
