In this compelling book, Martin Brunt, crime correspondent for Sky News, draws on the most shocking and harrowing stories he's covered over the past thirty years to document the life of a crime reporter and assess the public obsession with crime that his reporting caters for. He also considers the wider relationship between the press and the police, the impact of social media and the question of why some crimes are ignored while others grip the nation.
Featuring undisclosed details on some of the biggest cases Brunt has covered, from the 'Diamond Wheezers' to Fred and Rose West, this gripping blend of storytelling and analysis is not only a fascinating insight into the nature of crime reporting but also a reflection on the purpose of the profession in the first place.
Martin Brunt was chief reporter at the Sunday Mirror before moving to Sky in 1989. He has led the headlines with scoops on many major crime stories since then. Martin is widely acknowledged as having unparalleled sources, with one journalist observing that when he phoned Suffolk Police for a comment on a case, he was told: 'Call Martin Brunt. He knows everything before we do.' He co-hosts the True Criminals podcast.
