Absolute Power is a bestselling political thriller by David Baldacci, published by Grand Central Publishing (Hachette Book Group). The novel follows Luther Whitney, a master burglar who breaks into a Virginia estate and witnesses a shocking crime — the brutal murder of a woman by Secret Service agents covering up an affair with the President of the United States. With evidence in hand and powerful forces hunting him, Whitney becomes the target of a massive government cover-up while a tenacious detective and a grieving father fight for justice.

The book launched David Baldacci's career as one of America's foremost thriller writers and was adapted into a major motion picture directed by and starring Clint Eastwood. It remains a gripping page-turner exploring themes of power, corruption, and accountability at the highest levels of government.
