Excellent book! Top research, clean prose, beautifully paced.”

“Part true-crime potboiler, part spy thriller, part academic discourse and part journey of personal discovery.”

“An explosive book”

“A powerful investigative work… [and] a fascinating read”

“Declan has written a well-researched book of investigative journalistic brilliance. A book that deals with the unseen and often shadowy world of soccer’s match-fixing. . . . A world the authorities try to ignore; the effects of its existence swept under the carpet in the name of preserving the game’s image.”

“one of the year’s best [soccer] books”

“THE FIX is astonishing, appalling, and given that football is the world’s game–nothing less than earth-shaking. A magnificent example of investigative reporting at its best and to the reader’s delight written with elegance and verve. Declan Hill has announced himself on the world stage with nothing less than a total triumph. No one who reads this will ever watch a match the same way.”
