About this listen
Something in the Air: Booktrack Edition adds an immersive musical soundtrack to your audiobook listening experience!*
This is the 20th of 37 Emma Lathen best sellers; it features John Putnam Thatcher, SVP of the Sloan Guaranty Trust. A discount airline is considering going from a profitable commuter line to a major coast-to-coast airline, taking on the big guys. An internal fight breaks out, and the Sloan is involved through a loan and stock in a trust it manages, so John Putnam must get involved with his henchmen Gabler as auditor and Trinkham as insighter. This is great fun and deals with many pieties, making it a must-listen.
*Booktrack is an immersive listening experience that pairs traditional audiobook narration to complementary music and sound effects. The tempo and rhythm of the score are in perfect harmony with the action and characters throughout the audiobook. Gently playing in the background, the music never overpowers or distracts from the narration, so listeners can enjoy every minute. When you purchase this Booktrack edition, you receive the exact narration as the traditional audiobook available, with the addition of music throughout.
Please note: The audio for this title has noise issues at the beginning and end of each file/chapter.

For all the monumental documentation that Watergate generated - uncountable volumes of committee records, court transcripts, and memoirs - it falls at last to a novelist to perform the work of inference (and invention) that allows us to solve some of the scandal’s greatest mysteries - who did erase those eighteen-and-a-half minutes of tape? - and to see this gaudy American catastrophe in its human entirety. In Watergate, Thomas Mallon conveys the drama and high comedy of the Nixon presidency through the urgent perspectives of seven characters we only thought we knew.
