Wolf Catcher, The: The true story of how one woman exposed
When London journalist Clare Rewcastle Brown set up a small website highlighting environmental damage in Borneo, she didn’t expect to bring down a government.
But she stumbled upon one of the great scoops of all time: a multi-billion dollar heist, on the orders of a prime minister, which – among other things – was splurged on a major Hollywood movie, a $250 million yacht, one of the world’s largest diamonds, a supermodel’s see-through grand piano – and a whole lot of Cristal champagne.
Following the trail through Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Abu Dhabi, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and the beautiful but threatened rainforests of Sarawak, this incredible true story reveals how one woman bravely tracked down the truth behind the 1MDB affair – and exposed the ruthless criminals who thought they had got away with it.
