About this ebook
From the Baillie Gifford Prize-winning, internationally bestselling author of Say Nothing, Empire of Pain and London Falling comes twelve enthralling stories of crime, corruption, secrets and lies.
‘A new book by Keefe means drop everything and close the blinds; you’ll be turning pages for hours . . . Highly entertaining’ – Los Angeles Times
‘Eminently bingeable, religiously fact-checked and seductively globetrotting ’ – The Observer
Patrick Radden Keefe has been internationally recognized for his meticulously crafted, enthralling and deeply human reporting on criminals and rascals, as well as those who stand up to them. Rogues is a high-octane collection that brings together a dozen of his most celebrated articles from the New Yorker.
Keefe explores the intricacies of forging $150,000 vintage wines; examines whether a whistleblower who dared to expose money laundering at a Swiss bank is a hero or a fabulist; spends time in Vietnam with Anthony Bourdain; chronicles the quest to bring down a cheerful international black-market arms merchant; and profiles a passionate death-penalty attorney who represents the ‘worst of the worst’.
Merging gripping storytelling with fearless investigative journalism, Patrick Radden Keefe is undeniably one of the great nonfiction writers of our time.
'The finest non-fiction writer we have' – Elizabeth Day
'A gifted storyteller who excels at capturing personalities – The Washington Post
'We are fortunate to have him pounding the pavement to expose real-life darkness' – The Irish Times
'[Keefe] has an ability to unfurl the narrative in a way that is completely engrossing' – Louis Theroux
