Absolute Power: The Screenplay

by Goldman William

When a routine burglary in an elegant, upscale Virginia mansion goes awry, career thief Luther Whitney finds himself witness to a brutal murder involving none other than Alan Richmond, the youthful, charming, and thoroughly corrupt President of the United States. Torn between fear for his life and devotion to his family and country, Luther must make a decision that will change not only his own destiny, but the destiny of the world as we know it. Based on the best-selling thriller by David Baldacci, described as "relentlessly entertaining" by The Atlanta Journal & Constitution, William Goldman's screenplay captures the paranoia, greed, and corruption of politics through the ages and around the world.

As usual Mr. Baldacci has a riveting way of whisking me into a world of power and intrigue.

I started reading this because it sat on my shelf waiting for me to get to it, and its movie companion has been waiting just as long.

I like the script better than the movie.
