Bad Blood

NATIONAL BESTSELLER. Prize-winning journalist John Carreyrou rigorously reports the gripping story of Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos, one of the biggest corporate frauds in history. Amid Silicon Valley's bold promises, Holmes, once hailed as the next Steve Jobs, founded Theranos, a startup valued at over $9 billion. Her breakthrough device promised to revolutionize medicine by performing comprehensive lab tests from a single drop of blood. The technology, however, didn't work, endangering patients with erroneous results and misdiagnoses. Holmes and partner Sunny Balwani aggressively silenced critics, from journalists to employees. This tale of ambition and hubris now includes a new Afterword covering Holmes's trial and sentencing, bringing her story to a close.
