DESCRIPTION:
But, unknown to the President and his lackeys, one unlikely witness saw everything. By the time, he escapes, pursued by two Secret Service agents, a young woman has been sexually assaulted, then shot dead. And a breathtaking cover-up has been set in motion.. Set in Washington D.C., this fascinating thriller of unparalleled suspense dares to explore an unthinkable abuse of power and criminal conspiracy: a vicious murder involving the US President and a cover-up orchestrared by his zealously loyal Chief of Staff and the Secret Service. Trapped behind a two-way mirror in a country house in Maryland, Luther Whitney, a professional burglar, witnesses an event that destroys his faith in justice
Can the President get away with murder? The fictional answer to this question results in a fast-paced page turner that combines political intrigue with gritty, hard-boiled suspense
Terrific first novel from David Baldacci (and better than the movie, in my opinion) Having watched the movie Absolute Power several times, and having been a fan of Baldacci's novels for many years, I was interested to see how the book compared to the Clint Eastwood / Gene Hackman adaptation, which I've enjoyed (several times).I'm not surprised to conclude that the book is considerably better, and even coming to it after having seen the movie and knowing the basic story, I found it to hold my attention fully. As you would expect, there are several subplots i. An oldie but a goodie During the drought season of new releases at the beginning of the calendar year I am revisiting a number of best-selling books that I had read many years ago. ABSOLUTE POWER is the first book that David Baldacci released in 1996 which immediately became a best-seller. It is still a pretty good and somewhat different thriller.Luther Whitney has had a long-term career as a successful jewel thief and only burgles houses of the rich who can afford the loss. For some time, he has. A high water mark for Baldacci B. SIDOR This is the best Baldacci I have read so far. A burglary, rough sex, a killing and the President of the United States set the stage and away we go. The burglar witnesses an unbelievable event, setting in motion an increasingly complex web of intrigue and murder. The story picks up speed and intensity as you read on until finally you just can't put it down.I highly recommend "Absolute Power" to any fan of mystery novels and, certainly, to any Baldacci follower.
