National Bestseller"A powerful and important picture of how mega law firms distort justice."?David Cay Johnston, Washington PostThe NYT's Business Investigations Editor reveals the dark side of American law: Delivering a "devastating" (Carol Leonnig) exposé of the astonishing yet shadowy power wielded by the world's largest law firms, David Enrich traces how one firm shielded opioid makers, gun companies, big tobacco, Russian oligarchs, Fox News, the Catholic Church, and much of the Fortune 500; helped Donald Trump get elected, govern, and evade investigation; masterminded the conservative remaking of the courts . . . and make a killing along the way.In his acclaimed #1 bestseller Dark Towers, David Enrich presented the never-before-told saga of how Deutsche Bank became the global face of financial recklessness and criminality. Now Enrich turns his eye towards the world of ?Big Law? and the nearly unchecked influence these firms wield to shield the wealthy and powerful?and bury their secrets. To tell this story, Enrich focuses on Jones Day, one of the world's largest law firms. Jones Day's narrative arc?founded in Cleveland in 1893, it became the first law firm to expand nationally and is now a global juggernaut with deep ties to corporate interests and conservative politics?is a powerful encapsulation of the changes that have swept the legal industry in recent decades.Since 2016, Jones Day has been in the spotlight for representing Donald Trump and his campaigns (and now his PACs)?and for the fleet of Jones Day attorneys who joined his administration, including White House Counsel Don McGahn. Jones Day helped Trump fend off the Mueller investigation and challenged Obamacare. Its once and future lawyers defended Trump's Muslim ban and border policies and handled his judicial nominations. Jones Day even laid some of the legal groundwork for Trump to challenge the legitimacy of the 2020 election.But the Trump work is but one chapter in the firm's checkered history. Jones Day, like many of its peers, have become highly effective enablers of the business world's worst misbehavior. The firm has for decades represented Big Tobacco in its fight to avoid liability for its products. Jones Day worked tirelessly for the Catholic Church as it tried to minimize its sexual-abuse scandals. And for Purdue Pharma, the maker of OxyContin, as it sought to protect its right to make and market its dangerously addictive drug. And for Fox News as it waged war against employees who were the victims of sexual harassment and retaliation. And for Russian oligarchs as their companies sought to expand internationally.In this gripping and revealing new work of narrative nonfiction, Enrich makes the compelling central argument that law firms like Jones Day play a crucial yet largely hidden role in enabling and protecting powerful bad actors in our society, housing their darkest secrets, and earning billions in revenue for themselves.

#1 PÅ NEW YORK TIMES-BESTSELLERLISTE Fire mennesker sidder i en bil på vej gennem Midtvesten med kurs mod Chicago. Én mand kører, med øjnene på vejen. En anden sidder ved siden af ham og fortæller historier, der ikke hænger sammen. Og en kvinde på bagsædet, stille og bekymret. Ved siden af hende sidder en enorm fyr med brækket næse, der har blaffet sig til et lift østpå. Ikke langt bag dem ligger en mand stukket ihjel i en gammel pumpestation. Han blev set gå derind sammen med to andre, men kom aldrig ud igen. Alt tyder på en likvidering, knivdrabet er professionelt udført, og mordene er som sunket i jorden. Politiet er på stedet i løbet af få minutter, og kort efter ankommer FBI, fulgt af to andre statslige enheder. Sagen har højeste bevågenhed hos alle instanser, men ingen vil røbe hvorfor, eller hvem den dræbte er. Det eneste, Reacher ønskede sig, var et lift mod Virginia. Men intet er, hvad det ser ud til, og han opdager snart, at han befinder sig midt i et omfattende komplot, der gør ham til en trussel – for begge sider på samme tid. Lee Child skal læses. - Sara Blædel En fascinerende, overlegen og selvsikker præstation. - Sunday Times Child er en mesterlig håndværker inden for thrillergenren. - Entertainment Weekly Lee Child er tidens stjerne inden for amerikansk spændingslitteratur. - Los Angeles Times Ren eskapisme … Han har nydefineret thrilleren til det 21. Århundrede. - Daily Mirror Jeg er ikke længere (hvis jeg nogensinde har været det) en objektiv kritiker. Jeg er snarere en Lee Child-fan. Jeg er pro-Reacher, hans rå, men godgørende kæmpe af en omflakkende, årvågen helt … Jeg vil helt sikkert også ræse gennem den næste. - Independent "Det er med fart over feltet og nærmest filmisk fortællestil, at man bliver suget ind i historien ... bogen [er] svær at lægge fra sig" - Rikke Bruun, DBC "Jeg elsker Reacher, han er den rette mand til at rive mig ud af dagligdagsuniverset." - God-bog.dk

'A fascinating insider account' Grace Blakeley British democracy is on trial. We can no longer hold our leaders to account; the state has too much power; and the truth doesn't matter at all. Those we voted into government have nothing but contempt for the democratic system that got them there. When the Prime Minister illegally prorogued Parliament, barrister Sam Fowles was part of the team that took him to court, and won. The scenes of the police violently restraining women at a vigil for Sarah Everard shook the nation. In a high-profile parliamentary inquiry, Fowles proved the Met's actions fundamentally breached our right to protest. For decades, the Post Office pursued criminal prosecutions against its own employees, knowing the evidence was dodgy all along. Fowles helped reveal the rot at the heart of a trusted national institution. We shouldn't have to take our rulers to court just to get them to follow the rules. At a crucial juncture for British governance, Fowles urges us not to take our freedoms for granted.

Patrick Radden Keefe's work has garnered prizes ranging from the National Magazine Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award in the US to the Orwell Prize in the UK 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.
