THE INFORMANT

Mark Whitacre promised to be the best informant the FBI had ever had. The senior executive at the Archer Daniels Midland Corporation offered access into the upper levels of ADM's international price-fixing crimes, until he proved unstable and duplicitous to the agency as well as to his own employer. 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. R.L.L.
