Publisher's Summary
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.

Great book, pity about the accents
Was a great book, such an eye opener. The one thing I hated was the accents that the author put on, they weren’t needed and cheapened the importance of the story.

Excellent book- the narration was disappointing
I read the book and loved it so much I bought the audio version. I was as good as the book but the narrator assuming the roles of different characters by adopting weird accents was distracting and almost comical - it took away from a story that had such impact and changed society.

Rivetting
I cannot even begin to imagine the amount of courage it took to put together this story and eventually release it. I'm glad Ronan persevered. the story had to be told. For all women who have been abused and silenced. Thank you Ronan Farrow.

Journalist with integrity
I could not stop listening and spent eleven consecutive hours with Farrow. His narrative on sexual predators is worth the time and effort. It is tough at times to listen to the descriptions, particularly for a woman who experience such abuse, but it is captivating with no dull moments. I congratulate Farrow on his integrity and inclination towards ethical journalism. His perseverance and deep investigative work brought a powerful man (and probably others to come) to justice. Let's hope his book becomes a culture changer. Our society needs more Farrows out there uncovering the truth. Highly recommend this audible.

Daily deception
An important expose of the deceit we watch, read and listen to daily. Such a sad state of affairs when news becomes entertainment to be manipulate by puppet masters.
This is a story that needs to be told. The public need to question what they are being fed and why such fare is even on the menu.

Eye opening!
Amazing fearless investigative journalism by the author and the larger than life media villains who tried to stop the courageous women of the #Metoo movement!
