Dial M for Murdoch, By Tom Watson & Martin Hickman

Updated to take account of recent judicial dramas, this vital chronicle of the phone-hacking scandal moves from the nitty-gritty of crime and deceit to implicate Murdoch and his empire in the wider "corruption of Britain".

As Leveson reports, every concerned citizen should read it. A collaboration between the Labour MP who led the charge and The Independent's Martin Hickman, the narrative gains tension and momentum from their blend of public-spirited zeal and dogged sleuthing.

As Watson puts it, "Martin is calm and cautious. I am not."
