Harry Markopolos' book "No One Would Listen" (subtitled: "A True Financial Thriller"), the story of his role as a whistleblower on the Bernard Madoff fraud, told in his own words, was officially released today. Published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc., here's the gist of the book, as told on the inside front cover:
This is the thrilling, complete story of the pursuit of the greatest financial criminal in history - a chase that put Markopolos's life in jeopardy, led to international notoriety from his appearance on 60 Minutes, and once again opened the door to questions regarding the true effectiveness of the Securities and Exchange Commission... Markopolos's incredible investigation takes readers inside the financial industry, revealing the never-before-told stories behind the headlines.
My local Barnes & Noble (B&N) bookstore told me on Sunday they had the book in-house, but could not release it until the official launch date (today), so I reserved a copy. Anxious to get a start on the book, I ordered the ebook on Sunday (the first time I've been motivated to order an ebook!). One thing that's a little daunting if you're a novice at ebook: the 374-page book runs 1,077 pages (screens) on an iPhone. But it's a real page (screen) turner!
