Publisher's Summary
She is the woman who clinched the 2019 interview with Prince Andrew described as ‘a plane crashing into an oil tanker, causing a tsunami, triggering a nuclear explosion'. Sam McAlister is many things beside: the first in her family to go to university; a trained barrister; a single mum; a master of persuasion. In her former BBC colleagues' words, she was the ‘booker extraordinaire', responsible for many of Newsnight's exclusives over the past decade, including Stormy Daniels, Sean Spicer, Brigitte Hoss, Steven Seagal, Mel Greig and Julian Assange.
This is a backstage pass to the most unforgettable journalism of our times.

Thoroughly enjoyable
I really enjoyed this book. I wish it had been longer.
The writer narrates the book and that’s often a mistake, in my humble opinion but not in this case. The writer’s voice was easy to listen to and I’m glad she narrated it herself.

Articulate and fascinating
Articulate and pleasant voice to listen to. Fascinating listening and not one boring chapter! This book is genuinely interesting and so glad I listen to the Real Crime profile podcast where Sam came on to talk about a couple of these interviews. Otherwise I wouldn’t have heard of her book! Loved it.
