POLITICAL SUICIDE by Michael Palmer
Is it the power that corrupts or are we just
too power hungry?
When trying to help out a friend in a
desperate situation there is no boundaries, we will not cross to help. Dr. Lou Welcome is not experienced nor capable
of helping his friend accused of murder but that is only going to slow him down
not stop him. His friend has an
experienced lawyer in Sarah Cooper but is she dedicated to the cause; Lou will
test that at every turn.
Wearing multiple hats Lou is consistent in
his objective of making sure all of them fit correctly including time with his
daughter who is too wise for her years.
During the search for the real killer, Lou keeps his personal life out
of the mix but not completely out of the fray and the largest obstacle is for
Lou to stop getting himself in situations he has no idea how to get out of.
The more Lou and Sarah work together the
deeper the deception goes and the greater the problem to resolve becomes. When you have one man controlling the fate of
so many is this the perfect prescription for disaster. Pulling in every resource Lou has to stop
what he knows is beyond corruption may be over his head but not out of his
realm of possibility.
Michael Palmer simultaneously entertains and
scares you as a reader. This is a
perfect combination of suspenseful story added to a mystifying set of
circumstances written so well the reader believes this is an historical
recollection of facts.
I think power is the ultimate desire for too many people. It's the power that people want I think when they want to be famous or rich. This sound like something I would like to read but I really don't do audiobooks :)
ReplyDeleteI think it works both ways. There are those who crave power & once attained wield it like a sword.
ReplyDeleteAn interesting read.
Power can corrupt but it depends on the person. Some want it and some do not
ReplyDeleteLots of people are power hungry, and sometimes abuse that power.
ReplyDeleteI don't do audio books either.
