Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Perry, an upright English academic, finds an unlikely partner, and friend, in the bulky, unfathomable form of a Russian tycoon with his fractious family in tow. Dima has an underworld backstory that attracts the keen attention of the Service in London. Will the rather leftish Perry work on their behalf, and with what end in view?
As events gallop from London to Paris and a Swiss showdown, post-Soviet mafiosi and post-Cold War spooks come grippingly together - with some viciously angry snapshots of upscale villainy in the mix.
