International bestselling author David Baldacci shares his new book "Hope Rises." Tickets are $40 per person and include a pre-signed copy of the book. Presented by the CCPL Foundation.
In Hope Rises, FBI informant Walter Nash—living under the alias Dillon Hope—has been remade into a dangerous, highly trained weapon with one mission: destroy the criminal empire of Victoria Steers, the woman who stole everything from him. But to take her down, he must infiltrate her inner circle, earn her trust, and walk the razor’s edge between vengeance and destruction. As Nash sinks deeper into enemy territory, he’s unnerved to find himself drawn to the very woman he set out to kill—and the devastating truth he uncovers will shatter everything he thought he knew. In this gripping sequel to Nash Falls from #1 New York Times bestselling author David Baldacci, the path to revenge may be the one thing that saves Walter Nash . . . or ends him.
