What is Bookie Gambler Fixer Spy : A Journey to the Heart of Cricket's Underworld about?

For several years Ed Hawkins made friends with India's illegal bookmakers - men who boast turnover of hundreds of millions of dollars per cricket match - and met the anti-corruption officers of the International Cricket Council who are trying to shut them down. It's a shady world and rumours abound. Then one day Hawkins receives a message that changes everything. An Indian bookie sends Hawkins texts of a 'script' for an alleged fix during the 2011 World Cup that even he finds too astonishing for words; he watches - along with an estimated television audience of one billion - as the match unfolds according to the script and decides it is time to expose the inner workings of match-fixing. Bookie Gambler Fixer Spy is a story featuring politicians, governing bodies, illegal bookmakers and powerless players - as well as corruption, intimidation and even murder. It is a story that touches all cricket-playing nations around the world. It is a story that every cricket fan must read. You may never watch a cricket match without suspicion...
