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.

Exciting and well done submitted by lalichter on July 11, 2020, 8:57am Even though you already know basically how it turns out, this was a great read! I learned new things. But mainly, it’s so very frightening how the rich snd powerful are able to try to suppress and weasel their way out of illegal activity.

Fast-paced narrative submitted by A2AE on June 13, 2021, 10:35pm This behind the scenes look at wha most of us o my know from news headlines is a great, fast-paced narrative. His research and personal connection to the story makes it A+.

Real Spy Thriller submitted by lauraklocinski on June 21, 2022, 12:03pm This book had my heart pumping even though I already knew how it ended. It would be hard to believe the crazy twists in this book, if it hadn't all actually happened.
