Lost Son
Lost Son: An American Family Trapped Inside the FBI's Secret Wars | Brett Forrest
3 posts | 2 read | 5 to read
Into the Wild meets Red Notice, Wall Street Journal reporter Brett Forrest's extraordinary Lost Son uncovers the riveting story of Billy Reilly, a seemingly innocent American who was enlisted by the FBI to develop intelligence, and then disappears during a mysterious trip to Ukraine--a situation that tore his family apart as they sought answers from both US and Russian officials. Through meticulous reporting, Forrest deftly unveils the complex realities of America's national security apparatus through one family caught in its crosshairs, and masterfully exposes, in rich and shocking detail, the truth behind the young man's disappearance against all odds.

I think not knowing ANYTHING about this case really helped hold my attention because this was a DEEP dive into the disappearance of Bill Reilly, an American who traveled to Russia in 2015. It did take a bit of time but soon I was captivated. Great recommendation @Megabooks

Megabooks Yay! So glad you enjoyed it! It is a deep and complex story woven so well. 1y

Was this a bit too long? Yes. Was I totally hooked into bingeing this audiobook yesterday? Absolutely! WSJ reporter Forrest takes up a search for an FBI confidential source that went missing in Russia. Billy Reilly was more comfortable on computers than irl, but his ability to get in closed, extremist areas of the web made him useful to the FBI. While in Russia I‘m 2015, he disappeared, and it took years and much investigation to find out why.
