BOOK SYNOPSIS

It stunned the wider sporting world and confirmed the reputation of the News of the World's Mazher Mahmood as the most controversial news reporter of his generation. It was the start of a stunning chain of events that saw the News of the World shut down, Pakistan captain Salman But and bowlers Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir banned and sent to prison, before Mahmood himself ended up behind bars.

This gripping, forensic account takes the reader through the twist and turns of those fateful days late one August and beyond. For the first time it shines a light on the tradecraft of the News of the World team and how they exposed the criminal scheming of the Cricketers and their fixer Mazhar Majeed.
