In this episode 205, we visit with New York Times bestselling author David Baldacci and discuss his recent book, “A Gambling Man,” an Aloysius Archer thriller.

The Associated Press calls David Baldacci “a master storyteller.” This story is the next in the Archer Thriller series, a follow-up to the Nero Award-winning thriller “One Good Deed.” Set in the1950s, the protagonist has been to war, to prison and wants to learn how to be a private investigator, so he hops a bus to Californian to learn from the best, a legendary private eye and former FBI agent named Willie Dash.

He lands the job and immediately finds himself in the thick of a potential scandal: a blackmail case involving a wealthy well-connected politician running for mayor that soon spins into something even more sinister. As bodies begin falling, Archer and Dash must infiltrate the world of brothels, gambling dens, drug operations, and long-hidden secrets, descending into the rotten bones of a corrupt town that is selling itself as the promised land—but might actually be the road to perdition, and Archer’s final resting place.
