Críticas

"The story of Paul Powell, as Hartley tells it, is readable and entertaining. It casts much light on the level of political morality of Powell's time. As no one else has, he leads the reader to an understanding of the question that has been asked over and over since 1970: 'Where on earth did Powell get all that money?' Hartley leads up to the matters of Powell's death and the bizarre events surrounding the finding of millions among his effects in a skillful and dramatic fashion. He sustains the suspense until the end."--David Kenney, author of "A Political Passage: The Career of Stratton of Illinois" "The story of Paul Powell, as Hartley tells it, is readable and entertaining.
