Industry Reviews
"Mr. Baldacci, a Washington-based attorney, brings an insider's savvy to his tale of unfolding political scandal."
(02/25/1996)
"This book is a top-notch thriller that will simultaneously entertain and horrify....the fact that this is a debut novel should have John Grisham looking nervously over his shoulder."
"Fast-paced, authentic, and full of surprises."
"Lawyer-turned-novelist Baldacci cuts everyone's grass--Grisham's Ludlum's, even Patricia Cornwell's--and more than gets away with it."
"'Absolute Power' delivers the goods in a well-paced, intricate book that just might catapult Baldacci into the front ranks of fiction writers."
