Official synopsis Publisher
Tamara Sim, a ruthlessly ambitious young journalist, is thrilled when she is sent to interview veteran war correspondent Honor Tait. Finally – a chance for Tamara to prove that there’s more to her than forged expenses claims and the ‘what’s in/what’s out’ column she churns out for her tabloid. But Honor isn’t an easy subject; cold and evasive to the point of rudeness, it’s almost as if she has something to hide. And when Tamara starts to do some digging (not all of it strictly legal) she makes a discovery which has devastating consequences for them both…
In The Spoiler, the former literary editor of the Financial Times and the Guardian offers a first hand glimpse into the world of British journalism.
