內容簡介

內容簡介 《紐約客》特約撰稿人、《疼痛帝國》作者派崔克．拉登．基夫新作！作者長年關注、並持續報導揭露發生在世界各個角落的真實犯罪故事。本書精選12篇作者於《紐約客》發表的深度報導，以兼具批判思考又不失人性關懷的筆法，深刻描繪一群隱身社會之中的「作惡之人」與起身抵抗他們的義勇之士。NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the award-winning author of Empire of Pain and Say Nothing—and one of the most decorated journalists of our time—twelve enthralling true stories of skulduggery and intrigue"An excellent collection of Keefe's detective work, and a fine introduction to his illuminating writing." —NPR“Fast-paced...Keefe is a virtuoso storyteller." —The Washington PostPatrick Radden Keefe has garnered prizes ranging from the National Magazine Award to the Orwell Prize to the National Book Critics Circle Award for his meticulously-reported, hypnotically-engaging work on the many ways people behave badly. Rogues brings together a dozen of his most celebrated articles from The New Yorker. As Keefe says in his preface “They reflect on some of my abiding preoccupations: crime and corruption, secrets and lies, the permeable membrane separating licit and illicit worlds, the bonds of family, the power of denial.”Keefe brilliantly 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,” among other bravura works of literary journalism.The appearance of his byline in The New Yorker is always an event, and collected here for the first time readers can see his work forms an always enthralling but deeply human portrait of criminals and rascals, as well as those who stand up against them.
