"Accurate and highly readable."
--Wall Street Journal
Emmy award-winning journalist Andrew Kirtzman, explores "The Life and Lies of Bernie Madoff" in Betrayal--an in-depth, personal look at the architect of the biggest financial fraud in history. The New York Times calls Betrayal, "a novelistic, you-are-there sort of narrative," and the shocking story of the King of the Swindlers--and his hundreds of celebrity and corporation victims, and the everyday people who tragically invested their life savings with him--does indeed read like a page-turning thriller. But it's all amazingly, disturbingly true.
