In a dramatic 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.
