About this listen
Suave, intelligent, small-town Kansas boy Will Martin cannot resist temptation; he is a striver who does not learn the lessons of his failed Ponzi schemes and other investment frauds. "Hell has three gates," says the ancient Sanskrit verse of the Bhagavad Gita, "lust, anger, and greed." The third of these destroys careers, ruins personal lives, and sends some over the edge. Based on a true story, The Third Gate to Hell follows Martin's ambitious business career from its modest beginnings to his rise to the top of the mountain amid the high-flying, "wild west" savings and loan scandals of the Eighties.
Others retreat when the industry implodes, but Will applies his natural charm and persuasive personality to continue chasing a dream of riches. His addiction to a lavish lifestyle has its hooks in him. Unable to keep his hands off of other people's money, he serves time in the Leavenworth Penitentiary. After paying so dear a price, he would do well to return to his roots and live out his life in quiet humility. But it's not in Will Martin to retreat; his allegiance to the credo, "...too much ain't enough" plunges him to a bitter and tragic end.
The Third Gate to Hell leaves the listener haunted by the question: How can a young man from admirable beginnings, a natural born leader with a keen intellect and panache, cheat and steal his way to self-destruction? The story is true; names and locations have been changed in deference to those left in the wake of the real Will Martin.

They all borrowed heavily to attend a third-tier, for-profit law school so mediocre that its graduates rarely pass the bar exam, let alone get good jobs. And when they learn that their school is one of a chain owned by a shady New York hedge-fund operator who also happens to own a bank specializing in student loans, the three know they have been caught up in The Great Law School Scam.

Clay Carter has been there too long and, like most of his colleagues, dreams of a better job in a real firm.

A remarkable writing debut, filled with indelible moments, The Buy Side shows as no book ever has the rewards—and dizzying temptations—of making a living on the Street. Growing up in the 1980’s Turney Duff was your average kid from Kennebunk, Maine, eager to expand his horizons. After trying – and failing – to land a job as a journalist, he secured a trainee position at Morgan Stanley and got his first feel for the pecking order that exists in the trading pits.

With bloody conflicts surging in Iraq and Afghanistan, the polymer promises to save thousands of lives and change the course of both wars.

Nikki Burgess survived a terrible marriage and a worse divorce. She's just about given up hope of ever finding happiness. But when her ex-husband suddenly dies, she gets custody of her kids again - and a chance to start over. Dixie McPherson, on the other hand, has had way too much love. She has 11 tennis bracelets, dozens of trinkets, piles of sexy lingerie, and a tarnished reputation when all she ever wanted was true love, a partner, and a family. Carlisle Bartlett is loyal, kindhearted, and the funniest guy slinging drinks in the back of an airplane. But he has an ugly little secret. The only kind of love he's used to comes with bruises.
