Hack Attack: How the Truth Caught Up with Rupert Murdoch

Hack Attack: How the Truth Caught Up with Rupert Murdoch by award-winning journalist and writer, Nick Davies publishes this Friday, 8^th August.

With a network of lawyers, MPs, celebrities and colleagues, award-winning journalist Davies spent more than six years uncovering the truth about crime at the News of the World.  It was a project which eventually inflicted a crisis on some of the most powerful people in the land, exposing the inner workings of the police, politics and big business. Hack Attack is the inside story of the whole scandal.

Based on dozens of exclusive interviews with private investigators, journalists, politicians, police officers and Murdoch executives, Hack Attack is the story of what happened when truth caught up with power.

Poppy Hampson, senior editor at Chatto & Windus, says:

‘Hack Attack is the only book on the phone hacking scandal that will take you behind the story, written by the man who uncovered the truth. It is a gripping account of an investigation, of how the quest unfolded, and is full of detail that we haven’t read before.  But, more than that, it’s a brave and meticulously researched portrait of power and its abuses.  Definitive, thrilling, ambitious – there will be no other book like it, and only Nick Davies could tell it quite like this.’
