About the A. Shaw series

Shaw — a towering international operative who goes by a single letter for a first name and carries a past defined by personal tragedy — works as an off-the-books fixer for a shadowy transatlantic intelligence-sharing operation, alongside investigative journalist Katie James. David Baldacci's shortest series, just two novels, trades his usual Washington-insider settings for globe-spanning espionage: The Whole Truth (2008) uncovers a defense contractor's scheme to manufacture a global crisis for profit, and Deliver Us from Evil (2010) sends Shaw after an arms dealer and war profiteer while his path crosses again with Katie James.

The two books function as a tight duology rather than an open-ended series, giving Shaw's personal loss and Katie's journalistic instincts room to resolve across a contained arc. Readers who want a leaner, faster international-thriller counterpart to Baldacci's more sprawling Washington series are the natural audience.
