Spooked Av Barry Meier

<p><b>A Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist''s revelatory look inside the sinister world of private spies.</b><br><br><b>A spy story like no other.</b><br><br>Private spies are the invisible force that shapes our modern world: they influence our elections, effect government policies and shape the fortunes of companies. More deviously, they are also peering into our <i>personal </i>lives as never before.<br><br><i>Spooked</i> takes us on a journey into a secret billion-dollar industry in which information is currency and loyalties are for sale. An industry so tentacular it reaches from the Steele dossier written by a British ex-spy to Russian oligarchs in Mayfair mansions, from the devious tactics of Harvey Weinstein to the growing role of corporate spies in politics and the threat to future elections.<br><br><b><i>Spooked</i> reads like the best kind of spy story: a gripping tale packed with twists and turns, uncovering a secret side of our modern world.</b></p>
