Summary: A superb piece of writing
Review: Words as sharp and accurate as a rapier, a storyline as intriguing as a spider's web. E.L.Burton's $oft Money is a dazzling study of the abuse of power that has blighted America since Watergate and before. In it, he relates one man's struggle against his conscience when a former associate is elected President.More than just a floral use of words and a sharp sense of timing, Burton brings us a sense of realism that can best be described as on-the-spot. In dialogues, his choice of phrase says as much about his ability as a writer as his knowledge of political America. He doesn't seem to feel the need for 'he opinioned', 'she screamed', or 'he blustered'; the discourse does it for him. The sure sign of someone who knows how to wield a pen. In his biography, the author claims to have worked in 'Corporate America'. Methinks he stretcheth the truth a little. Only an insider could have written with Burton's amazing breadth of knowledge. He is surely the Tom Clancy of political novelists and I look forward to his next book with eager anticipation.
