turner falls massachusetts. chris, our you there. thank you. hi mr. baldacci thank you. my question is kind of fact versus fiction i'm thinking that there is a lot of evil out people out in the world with what you're writing. in roby and they are out there saving the world from this evil. i'm also wondering why these have all of these characters in real life. and they are all race trying to tie the handsg out there trying to save the world every house that. we certainly had more than our fair share. it's a balance. with a lot of civil liberties. and you want people to do their job but you also had to achieve a balance. to head somebody do something that will interfere with the constitutional rights. i have to make it across the board and shortcuts. don't you want when they're trying to get one. i like the idea that people are working to protect us from evil. but understanding that nobody works free. and that's the one thing i learned in law school.t' s once you cut back on other peoples rates it's much easier to come back on the enforcement of all rights. then it's a sli
