The Messenger By: Shiv Malik [Audiobook]

Author: Shiv Malik

When investigative journalist Shiv Malik was betrayed by a source he considered a friend, he spent almost fifteen years tracking down the truth about what happened. The Messenger is an extraordinary audio tale of friendship, lies, betrayal, terrorism, the destruction of a marriage, and the insidiousness of fake news long before it went viral. In the wake of the 7/7 London bombings, Shiv Malik began working for the BBC to discover how young South Asian men like him had turned into suicide bombers. That’s when he met notorious Islamist spokesman Hassan Butt, who told Shiv that he’d repented and left al-Qaeda. Hassan wanted Shiv to write his biography, and Shiv thought he’d found the biggest story of his life—a story that would help to change the world for the better. Little did he know that Hassan Butt would almost destroy his life. Over the next three years, Shiv and Hassan became friends, until one day there was a knock on the door from police investigators and everything fell apart. In eight revealing episodes, featuring Shiv’s own audio recordings of his conversations with Hassan, Shiv searches for where he can place his trust: in the reams of evidence, in the cops, in a terrorist who swears he’s changed, or in a friend who has no one else to turn to? Produced by Topic Studios.
