FSG Presents: Spies, Private Eyes, and Journalists: Barry Meier, author of MISSING MAN, with Jim Mintz

Join author Barry Meier for a reading, Q&A, and signing of Missing Man, a riveting investigation into the 2007 disappearance of CIA contractor Robert Levinson in Iran. Meier, a New York Times journalist, has followed this story since Levinson went missing, and has uncovered evidence that Iranian officials knew far more than they previously admitted about Levinson’s disappearance and current whereabouts. This story is not only true, containing a cast of characters ranging from spies to politicians to Russian oligarchs, but also comes at a critical point in the history of American-Iranian relations. Kirkus hails Missing Man as a “chilling, real-world espionage yarn.”

With Jim Mintz, an adjunct professor in the Stabile Center for Investigative Journalism at Columbia, and the president of the research and investigative firm, the Mintz Group.

Barry Meier has been a finalist for the Pulitzer Price and is a two-time winner of the George Polk award. He is the author of Pain Killer: A “Wonder” Drug’s Trail of Addiction and Death and A World of Hurt: Fixing Pain Medicine’s Biggest Mistake. Conversation partner TBA.
