The phone hacking scandal that closed News of the World was big, but that was just the tip of the iceberg. At the bottom of that iceberg of 'dark arts' - hacking, burglary, bugging, and bribing bent cops - is the body of Daniel Morgan. It’s been described by an Assistant Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police as “one of the most disgraceful episodes in the entire history of the Metropolitan Police Service.” Over the three decades since Daniel was killed, five failed police investigations and an ongoing panel inquiry, his has become the most investigated murder in British history. The story moves from back streets of London, through the highest echelons of Scotland Yard, to the offices of Rupert Murdoch's best selling newspapers, to the doors of Number Ten Downing Street. If you haven't heard this story, ask yourself, why?

Customer Reviews
Very good.
Excellent, interesting & highly recommended !
Clunky
Tried to get into this over and over but it’s just so clunky and hard to follow. The narration lacks pace and structure and is interspersed with this OTT cockney accent punctuating the narrative. I found this very strange and off-putting, seems to trivialise and add some “Horrible Histories” element to a twisting and difficult political story. Hard to identify and keep track of narrators, and there seems to be no real marker of the investigator tracking this story through to the end.
Background Music Ruins The Important Story
Really important story but I can’t listen past the first episode. The background music is just ridiculous, ruins the story and trivialises it to the level of a knock off child’s horror story.
Please release one without the background music!
