Publisher's Synopsis
What is it about crime that we find so fascinating, even if at the same time the details are repugnant? Why are some crimes more newsworthy than others? And how has that perception changed, if at all, in an age when every smartphone-owner is a potential on-the-spot reporter? This book offers an overview of the nature of crime reporting and how it has changed over the past 35 years or so. Along the way, Martin reveals many previously undisclosed details from some of the biggest stories he's covered.
