Omschrijving

EVERY SCOOP HAS ITS PRICE

It's Jason Crowthorne's twenty-ninth birthday and he's desperate. When he won Young Journalist of the Year, he landed the job in newspapers that he always dreamt of, but since then his career has been stagnating. Now he learns he's to be replaced by a cheaper hack. But then he uncovers the biggest scoop of his life.

Teenager Liam Glass lies in a coma after a mugging. Jason chases down tantalising rumours that the boy is the secret love-child of one of the Premier League's top strikers. A story he could sell for big money to the tabloids and spark a career-boosting campaign against knife-crime. Only, try as he might, he can't prove it.

A chance call from a sleazy footballing agent hands Jason an unexpected way to sex up the story. All he has to do is tell a little lie.

But to Jason's horror, that lie puts Liam's life at risk...

Sucked into a whirlpool of greed and moral corruption, can Jason find a way to save the boy's life, or has he lost his soul to chasing headlines?

The Breaking of Liam Glass is a fast-paced urban satire by award-winning film-maker Charles Harris. If you like novels with unexpected twists, vivid characters and an unlikely anti-hero who keeps bobbing to the top, you'll love this gripping tale of the dark underbelly of tabloid journalism.
