Summary
Set at the heart of political power in Washington, DC, Absolute Power was the novel which launched David Baldacci's career as a worldwide best seller of thrilling fiction. The movie, starring Clint Eastwood, was a major box office success across the world.
In a heavily guarded mansion in the Virginian countryside, professional burglar and break-in artist Luther Whitney is trapped behind a one-way mirror. What he witnesses destroys his faith in not only justice but all he holds dear.
What follows is an unthinkable abuse of power and a criminal conspiracy, as a breathtaking cover-up is set in motion by those appointed to work for one of the most important people in the world - the president of the United States.

Excellent read to a fantastic story
The best read book I have ever had the pleasure to listen to. Scott Brick is an excellent narrator and he brought the story to life with all its emotions and twists as only David Baldacci could bring to put to pen and paper.

Great story, average narrator
Great story, but the acting of the narrator is weak. Worth persisting with though as he seems to improve.

I've read many of david Baldacci 's books, and decided to give this a once over. The book is well narrated and paced nicely to keep you coming back for more. Possibly one of the best books I've listened to / read of all time 👍
