Book About Spitzer In The Making

What could be more juicier than the story of a former governor who previously busted up and prosecuted prostitution rings to be later caught up with a prostitute? Penquin group now wants to bring the story to a bookstore near you.

A book about the rise and stunning decline of former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer, co-authored by the makers of a book and film about the fall of Enron, is being published by Penguin Group (USA), Penguin imprint Portfolio announced Wednesday.

Peter Elkind, who helped write the best-seller about Enron, ''The Smartest Guys in the Room,'' is collaborating on the Spitzer book with filmmaker Alex Gibney, who is making a documentary about the law-and-order Democrat who resigned last month over allegations about his connection to a $5,500-an-hour call girl ring. The book's title and publication date weren't immediately available.

Actor Robin Williams should play Spitzer in the movie version.
