A new courtroom drama from bestselling author David Baldacci, A Calamity of Souls is a novel decades in the writing which breathes richly imagined and detailed life into a bygone era, taking the reader through a world that will seem both foreign and familiar.
“From its disturbing opening onwards, A Calamity of Souls is packed with a richness of detail and prose so evocative it works like a time-machine, effortlessly transporting readers to a troubled time in U.S. history.” -- Alex Michaelides, bestselling author of The Fury, The Maidens, and The Silent Patient
