The Fix

The 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.

Driven by a lifelong love of the game and a need to find out what’s really going on in the world’s most popular sport, Declan Hill embarks on an investigation that brings him face to face with the multi-billion-dollar illegal Asian gambling industry. He interviews more than two hundred people, including men who claim they have bribed their way into changing the results of some of the biggest games in the sport. Initially very skeptical, Hill travels across four continents to corroborate their stories. He finds soccer leagues where mobsters have fixed more than 80 per cent of the games. But most shocking is Hill’s discovery that gambling fixers have successfully infiltrated the game—all the way to the top international matches.
