Declan Hill is an investigative journalist and academic who specializes in the study of organized crime, match-fixing, and international issues
He was the first journalist to break the story of Asian match-fixing gangs linked to the multi-billion dollar gambling markets destroying international football in his book ‘The Fix: Soccer & Organized Crime’. It has now become a best-seller in 21 languages. In 2013, he published the academic version ‘The Insider’s Guide to Match-Fixing’. They’re both fantastic reads, available on Amazon.
