Absolute Power

I liked this book written by David Baldacci. When the wife of a wealthy campaign contributor is found dead in her bedroom, President Alan Richmond swears – in public – he will use the full power of the Oval Office to find her killer. However, when a cat burglar proves he has a missing piece of evidence linking Richmond to the crime, a dangerous cover-up is in order.

Clint Eastwood directed and starred in a 1997 film adaptation.
