Description
A gripping business narrative and scientific thriller about the high-stakes world of biotech, where a single molecule can stop cancer in its tracks and make its discoverers astonishingly rich. For Blood and Money tells the story of a small team at a biotech start-up in California who have found one of these rare molecules, a BTK inhibitor that seems to work on a vicious type of leukemia. As they navigate the corporate intrigue and ambiguous morality of the biotech industry, they must confront the consequences of their discovery and the high rewards that come with it.
