About this Book

Trust Me's authors sketch scenes of life inside Charles Keating's American Continental Corporation (owner of Lincoln Savings and Loan), where the boss capriciously rewarded and terrorized his staff. They offer mini-profiles of Keating's haunted underlings, tantalized by lucre, their personal lives crumbling. They focus on the charismatic, risk-loving, intimidating 65 "Charlie" Keating.
