Patrick Alley's latest book, Terrible Humans, is a vivid and compelling testament to the importance of revealing corruption and wrong-doing. It follows the people unravelling deals, tracking the money, and going undercover at great risk. The book also follows the super-villains of corruption and war, who are driven by greed for power and wealth and backed by a pinstripe army of enablers. However, there is a fightback: small but fearless groups of brilliant undercover sleuths closing in on them, one step at a time.

Patrick Alley, a prominent investigative journalist, has released a new book titled "Terrible Humans" that shines a light on corruption and wrongdoing in dark places around the world. The book is a testament to the importance of exposing these issues and bringing them to the forefront of public attention. Alley's previous book, "Very Bad People," was a best-seller and explored the lives of some of the world's most notorious warlords, grifters, and kleptocrats. In "Terrible Humans," Alley continues his exploration of the underworld, focusing on the individuals and organizations responsible for the world's most heinous crimes. The book follows the stories of undercover sleuths who are closing in on these criminals, tracking their money, and going undercover at great risk. From the oligarch charged with ordering the killing of an investigative journalist to the mercenary army seizing the natural resources of an entire African country, "Terrible Humans" provides a whirlwind tour of the dark underbelly of the world's super powerful and wickedly wealthy. The book has received praise from critics, who have described it as a "John le Carré novel" that is "very real." Alley's writing is engaging and informative, and he has a unique ability to bring the characters and their stories to life. "Terrible Humans" is a must-read for anyone who is interested in the world's most pressing issues and the people who are working to address them.
