Overview
This two-book paperback set brings together two of the most talked-about investigative nonfiction titles of the last decade. Bad Blood by John Carreyrou exposes the rise and collapse of Theranos, the blood-testing startup once valued at billions before its technology was revealed as fraud. Catch and Kill by Ronan Farrow uncovers how powerful men and the institutions protecting them used surveillance and intimidation to silence victims and journalists. Together these books deliver a masterclass in dogged reporting and corporate deception, and the courage it takes to bring truth to light, making this collection a must-read for true-crime fans.

About the Books
Bad Blood is John Carreyrou's account of Theranos, the Silicon Valley startup founded by Elizabeth Holmes that promised to revolutionize blood testing with a single finger-prick device. Backed by billions in investment and glowing media coverage, the company's technology quietly failed behind closed doors while Holmes and her partner Sunny Balwani pressured employees into silence. Carreyrou, a Wall Street Journal reporter, spent years chasing leads, sources, and legal threats to expose the truth, and his reporting ultimately led to criminal fraud charges. The book is widely regarded as a defining work of business journalism, detailing how ambition, secrecy, and unchecked hype can spiral into one of the biggest corporate frauds in American history. Catch and Kill follows Ronan Farrow's investigation into Harvey Weinstein and the broader system of "catch and kill" tactics used by media companies, lawyers, and private intelligence firms to bury damaging stories. As Farrow dug deeper, he found himself followed, surveilled, and pressured by his own network to drop the story, only to break it wide open at The New Yorker, sparking the #MeToo movement's most consequential reckoning. Farrow's reporting won the Pulitzer Prize for public service, and the book chronicles both the investigation and the personal toll of confronting entrenched power. Together, these two books form a powerful pairing on how truth survives against institutions built to suppress it.
