+ Want to read

Hidden addictions, treacherous politics, and deadly danger hide behind the locked doors of the drug industry. On the horizon is a new miracle drug designed to treat a deadly disease, but may instead deliver a nightmare. Billions are at stake and men and women, and companies, will lie, cheat, or even kill to get their share.
