Absolute Power by David Baldacci

Scandalous, murderous, preposterous enough to come true. 542 pages of Washington, DC mayhem involving the rich man's dead wife, the American President, Secret Service agents, a felon you gotta love, his daughter, the rich man, the firm's controlling partner, a lawyer I'd like to see naked, I'm sure; and some other interesting cast members.

Be ready to pick this up and put it down a lot, it's just so darn long. Doesn't really get going till about 2/3 way through, but kept me hanging on, nonetheless. Edifies my irrational anxiety about conspiracy theory! Very thoughtful book, twists and turns well explained when I needed them to be as I am not up on my "murder-ese."

I have it to pass along for free if anyone's interested.

I wonder how many people don't realize that Clint Eastwood composed the music for the soundtrack of the movie based on Absolute Power?

I really love "Kate's Theme" from that soundtrack. You can hear the music on this homemade YouTube tribute:
