A startling and powerful journey to the very core of India`s illegal bookmaking industry that exposes the scale of corruption and the match-fixing that now runs rife throughout world cricket.
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...
Ed Hawkins is an award-winning journalist. He has twice been named the Sports Journalists` Association`s Sports Betting Writer of the Year. This is his second book.
