Reviews"Declan has written a well-researched book of investigative journalistic brilliance. A book that deals with the unseen and often shadowy world of soccer's match-fixing. . . . A world the authorities try to ignore; the effects of its existence swept under the carpet in the name of preserving the game's image." Shaka Hislop, ESPN soccer commentator and former English Premier League and World Cup goalkeeper "Fascinating. . . . Part true-crime potboiler, part spy thriller, part academic discourse and part journey of personal discovery." - Stephen Brunt,Globe and Mail "A powerful investigative work….The Fixis a fascinating read." -Ottawa Citizen "Sensationa…. Fascinating…. [Hill] makes a good case." -Winnipeg Free Press "An explosive book." -Daily Mail "Declan Hill literally takes his life into his own hands…. [He] presents convincing evidence that even games in the 2006 World Cup in Germany were fixed….

SynopsisThe Fix is the most explosive story of sports corruption in a generation. Intriguing, riveting, and compelling, it tells the story of an investigative journalist who sets out to examine the world of match-fixing in professional soccer. From the Introduction Understand how gambling fixers work to corrupt a soccer game and you will understand how they move into a basketball league, a cricket tournament, or a tennis match (all places, by the way, that criminal fixers have moved into). My views on soccer have changed. I still love the Saturday-morning game between amateurs: the camaraderie and the fresh smell of grass. But the professional game leaves me cold. I hope you will understand why after reading the book. I think you may never look at sport in the same way again.
