Ronan Farrow
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.INDIE BOUND #1 BESTSELLERUSA TODAY BESTSELLERWALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER

"This is such an important book, but sadly one that I feel doesn’t get enough credit and is not marketed correctly. Everyone should be talking about this book. At a high level, it’s the story of Harvey Weinstein and Matt Lauer and their decades of sexual predation with cover ups by their companies. But at its core, this book is about a culture of big business paying people, especially women, to go away. Ronan Farrow does an incredible job of exposing NBC and their team for their part in this culture but also starts a conversation around why free press is so important. It scares me to think about how much corruption would still exist without investigative journalists. Lastly, the women of this story were so brave to come forward and expose these criminals and this culture. "
"Very good and informative. I like it when a bad guy gets taken down. "

"Such an eye opener. Everyone should read this book. It's too important to let it drift away from public awareness. This book should be promoted more. "

"This book is horrifying in content but well written and researched. I am so glad we are slowly starting to say no more to these predators"
