News * The Telegraph * Apple * Library Journal In this newly updated edition of the meticulous and devastating (Associated Press) account of violence and espionage that spent months on the New York Times Bestsellers list, Ronan Farrow exposes serial abusers and a cabal of powerful interests hell-bent on covering up the truth, at any cost - from Hollywood to Washington and beyond. In 2017, a routine network television investigation led to a story only whispered about: one of Hollywoods 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. 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 its the story of the women who risked everything to expose the truth and spark a global movement Los Angeles Times Book Prize FinalistFinalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award in AutobiographyIndie Bound #1 BestsellerUSA Today BestsellerWall Street Journal Bestseller Review Time Must-Read Book of 2019 NPR Favorite Book of 2019Washington Post Best Nonfiction Book of 2019Los Angeles Times Best Book of 2019Chicago Tribune Best Book of 2019Fortune Best Business Book of 2019Bloomberg Best Book of the YearTelegraph (U.K) Best Book of 2019Kirkus Best Nonfiction Books of 2019A Chicago Public Library Best Book of 2019Library Journal Best Social Science Book of 2019One of USA Todays Best Books to Read While Stuck at HomeMeticulous and devastating...part All the Presidents Men, part spy thriller.

So it goes with Catch and Kill. Elizabeth Bruenig, TheWashington PostThe connections between presidents, media moguls, and spies described in Catch and Kill are stranger than fiction.
