The Scoop

Electronic book text

No story sells faster than a celebrity's downfall. . .

Washed-up journalist Frankie Miller is desperate. Since losing her dream job at a glossy magazine, she's been drowning in rejection letters and overdue bills while eating cereal for dinner.

So, when she's offered a role at The Scoop, a notorious tabloid website run by tyrannical editor David Brown, she can't afford to say no - even if it means swallowing her pride for clicks. Besides, it's just a temporary means to an end. Nothing more.

But as Frankie dives deeper into the cutthroat world of clickbait, the blurrier the lines between ambition and morality become. And when she breaks a story that humiliates a beloved pop star, the fallout is more explosive than she ever imagined - for both of them.

In an industry where reputation is currency and outrage sells, how far is Frankie willing to go - and how much is she willing to lose - to win at this ruthless game?

Sharp, witty, and unflinchingly bold, The Scoop pulls back the curtain on tabloid culture and the human toll of the 24/7 news cycle, perfect for fans of Yellowface, The List and Succession.
