Big Deal: Welcome to the World of Corporate Intelligence

'Every single government procurement contract involves a bribe...' And whether it's the Trump dossier or Harvey Weinstein's attempted silencing of his accusers, one of these guys will be involved.

George McLeod was a corporate intelligence consultant on behalf of the world's largest corporations. For ten years he researched competitors and potential partners, at least that was his role on paper. In truth McLeod had become part of an industry made up of secret consultants rooted in international spy services, where rather than preventing corruption in developing countries, his industry actively worked to facilitate it. Very soon hacked company accounts, bungs paid to North Korean intermediaries, and sex and murder in the quest for information and deals had become the norm.

Big Deal is an eye-opening insider account of an unregulated, out-of-control, multi-billion dollar industry.
