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. Inspiration for the HBO Max streaming documentary series.

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.

"Meticulous and devastating...part All the President's Men, part spy thriller."—Rasha Madkour, Associated Press
"At the heart of every great noir is a conspiracy of evil that imbues the initial crime uncovered by the hero with a weightier resonance than was immediately obvious. So it goes with Catch and Kill."—Elizabeth Bruenig, TheWashington Post
"The connections between presidents, media moguls, and spies described in Catch and Kill are stranger than fiction. As a novel, it would be a page-turner. As a reported piece of nonfiction, it's terrifying."—Eliana Dockterman, Time
"The year's best spy thriller is stranger - and more horrifying - than fiction...He weaves a breathless narrative as compelling as it is disturbing...bracingly exposes the rot that's persisted across elite American institutions for decades."—DavidCanfield, Entertainment Weekly
"Catch and Killis an important, frightening book...it's also a propulsive, cinematic page-turner "—Erin Keane, Salon
"Darkly funny and poignant...a winning account of how it feels to be at the centre of the biggest story in the world. It is also, of course, a breathtakingly dogged piece of reporting, in the face of extraordinary opposition."—EmmaBrockes, The Guardian (U.K.)
"Absorbing...The behavior documented in Catch and Kill is obviously and profoundly distressing. ... But there are some hopeful threads, too."—Jennifer Szalai, New York Times
"Must read: Catch and Kill, by Ronan Farrow. How #sexualabuse stories got suppressed, and how deep-diving, fact-gathering reporting blew the lid off, despite threats, intimidation, and cronymongering at the top. Chilling!"—Margaret Atwood
"Reads like a thriller...The reveal in Catch and Kill is not that there are corrupt people; it's that corrupt people are in control of our media, politics, and entertainment and that, in fact, many of them remain in control."—RebeccaTraister, The Cut

The tireless effort and determination that went into exposing Weinstein and the broader implications is absolutely astonishing. Thank you for your work Mr. Farrow, your feminism is much needed. Thank you to the incredibly brave women that came forward. Read this book, everyone!

Bravo Ronan Farrow

The book was informative & left no stone unturned. Ronan Farrow"s commitment to telling the truth is the epitome of integrity at sll costs. The world needs more champions of truth like Ronan Farrow!!!
The drawback?
Uggg those accents. So distracting. How did that get by a producer? Note to all producers of audiobooks: just have the talent read the book...don't do accents..it's extremely unnecessary.

I wish it was fiction

Although he doesn’t take credit for starting the #metoo movement, after reading/listening to this book I firmly believe his journalism was the catalyst. I really enjoyed hearing his own voice read this. At the end, I felt like I knew him, and had been supporting him every step of the way. This book blew me away. I knew Hollywood had problems but... this was jaw dropping.

I love you Ronan!

Horrific, compelling and necessary information. People need to be held accountable for what countless women were forced to endure.
