Pringle’s fast-paced book is a master class in investigative journalism, explaining how a reporter wrestles information and documents from reluctant sources and government officials. It is a stark look at the weakening of local news, especially at The Los Angeles Times.

... part exposé, part primer on investigative journalism, part saga about the abuse of power. At its heart, it is the story of a whistleblower and a newsroom trying to do the right thing against great odds.

Behind-the-scenes account.

... a powerful and genuinely original addition to the investigative journalism genre.

... riveting.

The newsroom drama is as juicy as the dramas at the university.
