Description

It was one of the FBI's biggest secrets: a senior executive with America's most politically powerful corporation, Archer Daniels Midland, had become a confidential government witness, secretly recording a vast criminal conspiracy spanning five continents. Mark Whitacre, the promising golden boy of ADM, had put his career and family at risk to wear a wire and deceive his friends and colleagues. Using Whitacre and a small team of agents to tap into the secrets at ADM, the FBI discovered the company's scheme to steal millions of dollars from its own customers.

But as the FBI and federal prosecutors closed in on ADM, using stakeouts, wiretaps, and secret recordings of illegal meetings around the world, they suddenly found that everything was not all that it appeared. At the same time Whitacre was cooperating with the Feds while playing the role of loyal company man, he had his own agenda he kept hidden from everyone around him: his wife, his lawyer, even the FBI agents who had come to trust him with the case they had put their careers on the line for. Whitacre became sucked into his own world of James Bond antics, imperiling the criminal case and creating a web of deceit that left the FBI and prosecutors uncertain where the lies stopped and the truth began.

A page-turning real-life thriller that features deadpan FBI agents, crooked executives, idealistic lawyers, and shady witnesses with an addiction to intrigue, The Informant tells an important and compelling story of power and betrayal in America.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Arthur Morey presents this true-crime drama like the fictional crime thriller it easily could be. His no-nonsense approach provides credibility, while his enhancement of each character's vocal nuances brings the story to life. Morey's interpretation of Eichenwald's exhaustive research enhances the story's many plot twists, leaving listeners checking the package to make sure it is really nonfiction." (AudioFile)

Riveting story of corporate espionage

What a listen! I enjoy corporate fraud investigation stories, especially real ones, but even the best bore me with the minutiae at times, but not The Informant. Eichenwald has produced an exceptionally well researched and written book. He has the ability to make the smallest details interesting. Kept my attention the whole way. Highly recommended.
