Publisher's Summary
The New York Times Bestseller
From the prize-winning, bestselling author of Say Nothing and Empire of Pain, twelve enthralling stories of skulduggery and intrigue by one of the most decorated journalists of our time.
This audio edition is read by the author, Patrick Radden Keefe.
Patrick Radden Keefe’s work has been recognized by prizes ranging from the National Magazine Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award in the US to the Orwell Prize and the Baillie Gifford 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 observes 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 explores the intricacies of forging $150,000 vintage wines; examines whether a whistle-blower 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; collected here for the first time listeners can hear how his work forms an always enthralling yet also deeply human portrait of criminals and rascals, as well as those who stand up to them.
Critic Reviews
"I read everything he writes. Every time he writes a book, I read it. Every time he writes an article, I read it...he’s a national treasure." (Rachel Maddow)
"Eminently bingeable, religiously fact-checked and seductively globetrotting." (The Observer)

Excellent Stories
The stories in this book are excellent.
I'd call them fascinating - all but the last one, Journeyman. I don't know what that story was doing in the collection.
However, there is a world of corruption, greed, crime and ruthlessness that most of us are dimly aware of.
Patrick Radden Keefe's stories are fascinating and eye opening. We can only wonder at the brazen activity of all these people
His voice is clear. But the tone seems cliched at times.
Enjoy the book. It's worth the read and the listen
