DOING JUSTICE A Prosecutor's Thoughts on Crime, Punishment, and the Rule of Law

This audiobook recounts the dangers, duties, and adventures of a federal prosecutor. Bharara rose to the position U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York--one of the most powerful law enforcement jobs in the country--and served until he was canned by President Trump. During his career, Bharara went after bad guys of all kinds, including mobsters, drug dealers, politicians, and financial crooks. He describes some of his cases here, using his experiences to illustrate advice to young prosecutors. He's a decent narrator, with a somewhat clipped delivery. His performance is solid, as one might expect from a former courtroom elocutionist and current podcast host, and is a fine support to the audiobook's engaging content.
