Jake Bernstein, a journalist, has signed a deal with the Macmillan imprint, Henry Holt. Bernstein plans to write a nonfiction book that examines the Panama Papers entitled Secrecy World.
Paul Golob, an executive editor, negotiated the terms of this agreement with David Patterson of the Stuart Krichevsky Literary Agency. The release date has been scheduled for 2017.
Here’s more from the press release: “Secrecy World will contain new details that expand on the recent revelations about the financial machinations of rulers and royalty, the illegal activities connected to dozens of banks, and the extent to which U.S. companies and citizens are involved. He will show how this massive data leak toppled public officials, launched investigations and forced governments to respond. We have only begun to understand what’s in the Panama Papers, the consequences from the leak and what it took to bring these revelations to light; Bernstein will deliver the definitive, revelatory, and surprising story.”
