Award-winning investigative journalist Patrick Radden Keefe paints deeply human portraits of victims and vigilantes alike in his latest page-turner, Rogues: True Stories of Grifters, Killers, Rebels and Crooks.

Bringing together a dozen of his articles published in The New Yorker since 2007, Rogues sees Radden Keefe dive into everything from the world of counterfeit wines to Swiss banking to the illegal arms trade.

Radden Keefe’s previous books include Empire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty and Say Nothing: A True Story of Murder and Memory in Northern Ireland. He also created and hosted the popular podcast Wind of Change.
