There are no serious, unbiased comprehensive books on this scandal, which is very telling in and of itself given how many authors are quick to jump on criminal case stories and beat them to death.
Most books on the scandal are from Paterno/Sandusky apologists or from victims (Aaron and Matt). The only neutral one I'm aware of, Game Over, was rushed out in four months and came out before the Freeh Report and Jerry's trial.
The lack on research on the case from neutral parties is remarkable.
There are several books, but there are also a number of in depth news articles, even scholarly papers on scandal or parts of the scandal. There is "Wounded Lions," a retired PSU professor who writes on sports history.
