An attorney by education, David Baldacci is an acclaimed novelist with a penchant for suspense and legal thrillers.  

He’s written over 50 books, and his specialist knowledge of the US political and legal systems make his stories international bestsellers. 

‘Nash Falls’ is his newest work, the tale of an ordinary businessman recruited by the FBI to help bring down a global crime network.  

Baldacci has been writing for over thirty years, and Walter Nash, the protagonist of the novel, is unlike any he’s written before. 

“I’ve been writing a long time and one of my chief things that I do to keep myself motivated is just to challenge myself,” he told Jack Tame. 

“Get out of my comfort zone, create characters I haven’t created before.”

A picture is worth a thousand words, or so the saying goes. 

Images often convey more meaning and information than can be held in a sentence or two, an image often provoking more emotion or deeper thought. 

Kevin Milne saw one such image earlier this week – an image of the Earth, taken in 1990, from 6 billion kilometres away: The Pale Blue Dot.

"As a quick hit to recharge when travelling to or from Europe, Doha makes for an eye-opening stopover in the heart of the Middle East. The capital of Qatar pulses with all the flamboyant bling of Dubai, overlaid with deep pockets of old world Doha, where tradition, heritage and culture abound.
