The True Story That Reads Better Than Any Thriller

John Carreyrou spent years investigating Theranos and the result is a book that accelerates the way a great thriller does while being entirely true. Elizabeth Holmes built a company on the premise of a blood test that did not work, convinced investors and regulators and patients that it did, and kept the fraud running through a culture of fear and secrecy. Every chapter reveals something worse than the last and every chapter is better written than it has any right to be.
