Postscript description
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.
