About Catch And Kill: Lies, Spies, And A Conspiracy To

Product Description Now an HBO documentary series streaming on HBO Max. In this instant New York Times bestselling account of violence and espionage, Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter Ronan Farrow exposes serial abusers and a cabal of powerful interests hell-bent on covering up the truth, at any cost.   In 2017, a routine network television investigation led Ronan Farrow to a story only whispered about: one of Hollywood's most powerful producers was a predator, protected by fear, wealth, and a conspiracy of silence. As Farrow drew closer to the truth, shadowy operatives, from high-priced lawyers to elite war-hardened spies, mounted a secret campaign of intimidation, threatening his career, following his every move, and weaponizing an account of abuse in his own family.   All the while, Farrow and his producer faced a degree of resistance they could not explain -- until now. And a trail of clues revealed corruption and cover-ups from Hollywood to Washington and beyond. This is the untold story of the exotic tactics of surveillance and intimidation deployed by wealthy and connected men to threaten journalists, evade accountability, and silence victims of abuse. And it's the story of the women who risked everything to expose the truth and spark a global movement. Both a spy thriller and a meticulous work of investigative journalism, Catch and Kill breaks devastating new stories about the rampant abuse of power and sheds far-reaching light on investigations that shook our culture.   Los Angeles Times Book Prize FinalistFinalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award in Autobiography Indie Bound #1 Bestseller USA Today Bestseller Wall Street Journal Bestseller   Review Time Must-Read Book of 2019 NPR Favorite Book of 2019 Washington Post Best Nonfiction Book of 2019 Los Angeles Times Best Book of 2019 Chicago Tribune Best Book of 2019 Fortune Best Business Book of 2019 Bloomberg Best Book of the Year Telegraph (U.K) Best Book of 2019 Kirkus Best Nonfiction Books of 2019 A Chicago Public Library Best Book of 2019 Library Journal Best Social Science Book of 2019 One of USA Today's Best Books to Read While Stuck at Home " Meticulous and devastating...part All the President's Men, part spy thriller."― Rasha Madkour, Associated Press "At the heart of every great noir is a conspiracy of evil that imbues the initial crime uncovered by the hero with a weightier resonance than was immediately obvious. So it goes with Catch and Kill."― Elizabeth Bruenig, TheWashington Post "The connections between presidents, media moguls, and spies described in Catch and Kill are stranger than fiction. As a novel, it would be a page-turner. As a reported piece of nonfiction, it's terrifying."― Eliana Dockterman, Time " The year's best spy thriller is stranger - and more horrifying - than fiction...He weaves a breathless narrative as compelling as it is disturbing... bracingly exposes the rot that's persisted across elite American institutions for decades."― DavidCanfield, Entertainment Weekly " Catch and Kill is an important, frightening book...it's also a propulsive, cinematic page-turner "― Erin Keane, Salon " Darkly funny and poignant...a winning account of how it feels to be at the centre of the biggest story in the world. It is also, of course, a breathtakingly dogged piece of reporting, in the face of extraordinary opposition."― EmmaBrockes, The Guardian (U.K.) "Absorbing...The behavior documented in Catch and Kill is obviously and profoundly distressing. ... But there are some hopeful threads, too."― Jennifer Szalai, New York Times " Must read: Catch and Kill, by Ronan Farrow. How #sexualabuse stories got suppressed, and how deep-diving, fact-gathering reporting blew the lid off, despite threats, intimidation, and cronymongering at the top. Chilling!"― Margaret Atwood " Reads like a thriller... The reveal in Catch and Kill is not that there are corrupt people; it's that cor
