Some of the stories (the story of El Chapo’s escape, a profile of Amy Bishop) will be familiar to you. ![]() ![]() These delightfully detailed investigative pieces focus on his favourite subjects: “crime and corruption, secrets and lies, the permeable membrane separating licit and illicit worlds, the bonds of family, the power of denial”.Īs he says in the preface: “These are wild tales, but they’re all true, each scrupulously fact-checked by my brilliant colleagues at The New Yorker.” Rogues contains twelve of Keefe’s traditional long-form magazine stories, written over the past decade (and a bit).
