The ruthlessly ambitious Joe Lampton rises swiftly from the petty bureaucracy of local government into the unfamiliar world of inherited wealth, fast cars and glamorous women. But the price of success is high and betrayal and tragedy strike as Joe Lampton pursues his goals.An unabridged reading by Paul McGann.
