Book Description

<i>The Fix </i>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
<i>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.</i>

Reader Reviews

I just finished reading the book, I have to say it gets better while you read on. The author's research journey into the match-fixing world and the information that he presented in the book just captivated me. It opens my eyes to a world that I have no ideas about. I don't know much about soccer or any sports, and didn't expect to like or understand the book at first. But once I started reading, more and more I wanted to know about the match-fixing going on in the game. I have to say the author did a great job presenting the information. The chapter 'Salvation of Soccer' brought tears to my eyes, for sure I believe a good sport can bring hopes...

It is an amazing and eye-opening book for people, like myself, who don't know much about soccer or match-fixing, also a great book for soccer fans to rethink/look at their favor game from a different way. I have a great joy reading/riding through the author's research journey into the match-fixing world. Great job!
