Catch and Kill: Lies, Spies, and a Conspiracy to Protect Predators

A regular investigation for network television in 2017 brought Ronan Farrow to the only-spoken-about conclusion that one of Hollywood's most influential producers was a predator shielded by riches, position, and a conspiracy of silence. Shadowy players, from expensive solicitors to elite, combat-hardened spies, launched a covert campaign of intimidation against Farrow as he got closer to the truth. They tracked him down, threatened his career, and weaponized a story of abuse in his own family.

Up to this point, Farrow and his producer had encountered an inexplicable level of opposition. Additionally, a trail of hints exposed corruption and cover-ups from Washington to Hollywood and other places.

This is the unseen tale of the bizarre methods of intimidation and surveillance used by powerful and affluent men to intimidate reporters, avoid taking responsibility, and quiet abuse victims. It is also the tale of the courageous women who risked everything to reveal the truth and ignite a movement that changed the world.

Catch and Kill is a spy thriller as well as a painstaking piece of investigative journalism that uncovers shocking new information on the widespread misuse of power and throws significant light on investigations that shocked society.

Pulitzer Prize–winning investigative writer Ronan Farrow reveals a group of strong interests determined to conceal the truth at all costs, together with a group of serial abusers, in a gripping tale of violence and espionage.
