About the book:

An explosive, deeply reported exposé of Johnson & Johnson, one of America’s oldest and most trusted pharmaceutical companies—from an award-winning investigative journalist.

A searing indictment of the pharmaceutical and medical giant that became a household name—only to betray the trust of millions.

“Harris supports his takedown with a mountain of evidence and conveys his findings in scorching prose. The result is a masterpiece of muckraking.” Publishers Weekly

“Harris, who has dug deeply into these narratives, is particularly good at showing how … corporate money can support but also corrupt science, and how corporate alliances with government can mean progress but also collusion.” Washington Post

About the author:

Gardiner Harris previously served as the public health and pharmaceutical reporter for The New York Times and is now a freelance investigative journalist. He also served as a White House, South Asia, and international diplomacy reporter for the Times. Before that, he was a reporter for The Wall Street Journal, covering the pharmaceutical industry. His investigations there led to what was then the largest fine in the history of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
