Spooked - The Secret Rise Of Private Spies
A Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist's revelatory look inside the sinister world of private spies. A spy story like no other.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 personal lives as never before, using off-the shelf technology to listen to our phone calls, monitor our emails and decide what we see on social media.Spooked 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 Saddam Hussein to an 80s-era Trump, from the Steele dossier written by a British ex-spy to Russian oligarchs sitting pretty 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.Spooked reads like the best kind of spy story: a gripping tale packed with twists and turns, uncovering a secret side of our modern world.

Om Granatträden Gått I Blom
Gerhard Meier (1917-2008) var en schweizisk författare och designer. Han inledde sin författarbana tämligen sent, men kom att vinna erkännande och en rad priser för både sin poesi och sina romaner. Om granatträden gått i blom är hans sista bok och beskriver hans hustrus död och minnet av henne. Det är det första av hans verk som översatts till svenska. Ebba Högström har översatt och skrivit ett efterord om Meier.
