Nick Conover is the CEO of a major corporation, a local boy made good, and once the most admired man in a company town.

It is read unabridged by Scott Brick, a film, television, and radio performer.
After eight years in jail for selling narcotics, Lorenzo Brown is happy to have his freedom and a job protecting dogs for the Humane Society.

This Washington, DC drama is recorded on six cassettes for eight and a half hours of listening and is narrated by J.D. Jackson.
