The British phone hacking scandal may yet claim the jobs of even higher-ranking officials, but the journalist who broke the story open has already inked a book deal.
Nick Davies, the reporter for the Guardian who first exposed the broader scope of the hacking, has sold a book about the scandal titled “Hack Attack” to be released in the fall of 2012.
Davies sold the U.S. rights to Faber & Faber, an affiliate of Farrar, Strauss & Giroux, and the U.K. rights to Chatto & Windus, a subsidiary of Random House.
