Bad Blood
£2.00
A young man is found in a riverside park, his head bashed in with a rock. The only clue to his identity is an admission stamp for the local gay club.

DS Lucy Black is called in to investigate. As Lucy delves into the community, tensions begin to rise as the mans death draws the attention of the local gay rights group to a hate-speech Pastor who, days earlier, had advocated the stoning of gay people & who refuses to retract his statement.

Things become more complicated with the emergence of a far right group targeting immigrants in a local working-class estate.

As their attacks escalate, Lucy & her boss, Tom Fleming, must also deal with the building power struggle between an old paramilitary commander & his deputy that threatens to further enflame an already volatile situation.

Product Description

The full inside story of the breathtaking rise & shocking collapse of Theranos, the multibillion-dollar biotech startup founded by Elizabeth Holmes, by the prize-winning journalist who first broke the story & pursued it to the end, despite pressure from its charismatic CEO & threats by her lawyers.

In 2014, Theranos founder & CEO Elizabeth Holmes was widely seen as the female Steve Jobs: a brilliant Stanford dropout whose startup "unicorn" promised to revolutionize the medical industry with a machine that would make blood testing significantly faster & easier. Backed by investors such as Larry Ellison & Tim Draper, Theranos sold shares in a fundraising round that valued the company at more than $9 billion, putting Holmes's worth at an estimated $4.7 billion. There was just one problem: The technology didn't work.

In Bad Blood, John Carreyrou tells the riveting story of the biggest corporate fraud since Enron, a tale of ambition & hubris set amid the bold promises of Silicon Valley.
