Private spies are an invisible force shaping our modern world: they influence our elections and government policies, and they shape the fortunes of companies. Even more insidiously, they are also peering into our private lives like never before, using the most advanced technology available to listen in on our phone calls, monitor our emails and decide what we see on social media.

"The Investigative Reporting Industry" takes us on a journey into a secretive, multi-billion dollar industry where information is currency and loyalty is for sale. The Trump dossier, the dirty and insidious methods of private investigative firms, double agents, investigative journalists, hacking, and Russian oligarchs - you will find it all in this book.
