Absolute Power

by David Baldacci
Absolute Power
Absolute Power

Political intrigue, crime, and a high-stakes cover-up.

When you delve into "Absolute Power," you're not just reading a thriller; you're getting an express ticket to the pulse of Washington's political machine, rife with corruption and conspiracies. It's Baldacci at his best, gripping you with complex characters like Luther Whitney, whose moral compass is tested in extreme circumstances. If you're into edge-of-your-seat narratives that challenge power and morality, this book is a compelling choice.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

A grizzled professional cat burglar gets trapped inside the bedroom closet of one of the world's richest men, only to witness, through a one-way mirror, two Secret Service agents kill the billionaire's trampy young wife as she tries to fight off the drunken sexual advances of the nation's chief executive. Running for his life, but not before he picks up a bloodstained letter opener that puts the president at the scene of the crime, the burglar becomes the target of a clandestine manhunt orchestrated by leading members of the executive branch. Meanwhile, Jack Graham, once a public defender and now a high-powered corporate attorney, gets drawn into the case because the burglar on the lam just happens to be the father of his former fiancee, a crusading Virginia prosecutor. Embroidering the narrative through assorted plot whorls are the hero's broken romance; his conflict over selling out for financial success; the prosecutor's confused love-hate for her burglar father; the relentless investigation by a northern Virginia career cop; the dilemma of government agents trapped in a moral catch-22; the amoral ambitions of a sexy White House Chief of Staff; and the old burglar's determination to bring down the ruthless president. Meanwhile, lurking at the novel's center like a venomous spider is the sociopathic president.
