The book provides a gripping, fast-paced narrative about the colossal collapse of Enron in 2001, one of the most notorious financial scandals in U.S. commercial history. It offers an inside look at the investigative process of two Wall Street Journal reporters who, through skill and determination, broke through Enron's stonewalling and exposed the financial deceptions and corrupt accounting practices that led to the company's downfall. The story details how management, more interested in lining their own pockets than shareholders, engaged in self-dealing and hidden transactions, ultimately shaking public trust in big business and the accounting profession.
