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 that could not be
explained - 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 the culture.
