Peter Elkind presents an in-depth look at the ambitious career and sudden disgrace of former New York governor Eliot Spitzer. The result is a gripping narrative of one man's noble intentions and fatal flaws and the powerful forces that destroyed him.

Peter Elkind is an award-winning investigative reporter and the author of The Death Shift. He has written for The New York Times Magazine, The Washington Post, Fortune, and Texas Monthly.
The story of Eliot Spitzer's amazing, ultimately self-destructive, evolution from wealthy young man to New York State's attorney general and then governor demonstrates the author's impeccable research and powerful journalistic style. Narrator Arthur Morey provides a smooth, unadorned rendering of a complex story. Eventually, Morey fades to the background as the sad drama that leads to disgrace takes center stage. His workmanlike reading and measured pace present Spitzer as talented, ambitious, aggressive, and arrogantly flawed. Largely without salacious detail, the audiobook recounts the fascinating descent of a powerful public figure. As a coda, Ella Fitzgerald sings the Gershwins' "Treat Me Rough," a tongue-in-cheek treat. Listen for it! W.A.G. © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
