A note for parents
Absolute Power is a dark political thriller centered on murder, corruption, and abuse of power—adult content not suitable for younger readers. The story involves a brutal killing early on, multiple deaths, and serious crimes including sexual coercion by a powerful figure. While it explores themes of truth and justice, the mature subject matter, frequent violence, and morally compromised characters make it appropriate for older teens and adults only.
