Bad Blood

"This book is a total thriller and offers a visceral reminder: If it seems too good to be true, it probably is. Based on his Wall Street Journal investigative reporting, John Carreyrou expands the saga of Theranos, a Silicon Valley startup that was supposed to revolutionize health care but instead risked the health of millions of potential customers. This gripping and bizarre real-life drama has it all: a narcissistic leader drunk on power and venture capital who charms and strong-arms her employees, huge corporations, and even U.S. military generals into spending money on a too-good-to-be-true product that never worked – and the years-long cover-up and ultimate whistleblowing that saved America from a prized startup’s lies. I couldn’t put this book down."
