<p><b>The definitive book on how the <i>News of the World</i> phone-hacking scandal reached the highest echelons of power in the government, security, and media in the UK, from the journalist who broke the story.</b><br><br>At first, it seemed like a small story. The royal editor of the <i>News of the World</i> was caught listening to the voicemail messages of staff at Buckingham Palace. He and a private investigator were jailed, and the case was closed. But Nick Davies, special correspondent for <i>The Guardian</i>, knew that it didn't add up.

It exposes the inner workings of the ruthless machine that was the <i>News of the World</i>, and of the private investigators who hacked phones, listened to live calls, sent Trojan horse emails, bribed the police, and committed burglaries to dig up tabloid scoops.
