Ed King [sound recording] / by David Guterson.

In 1962, actuary Walter Cousins makes the biggest mistake of his life. When he sleeps with the British au pair, Diane Burroughs he can have no sense of the magnitude of his error. For this brief affair sets in motion a tragedy of epic proportions. At the centre is Ed King, an infant given up for adoption who becomes one of the richest and most powerful men. But beneath the gripping story of Ed's seemingly inexorable rise to fame and fortune is a dark and unsettling destiny.
