Reviews

Billy Kenber is one of the most promising young journalists in the land, and he has, unsurprisingly, produced a compelling debut which surprises, entertains and inspires dismay. An essential read -- SATHNAM SANGHERA We live in a medicated world. We take drugs for everything. But the story of how Big Pharma lost its moral compass, breaking the social contract with the public in order to over-price and over-medicate us with drugs costing, in some cases, 4000 times more than gold is an incredible untold story. Billy Kenber does a fantastic job, pulling apart the origins of the drugs industry and machinations of its shameless profiteers with surgical precision. From the business opportunity provided by AIDS and the magical invention of blockbusters, to the extraordinary house of cards of Concordia, which Billy exposed, it's quite a ride. A must read for anyone who wants to understand how the drugs industry really does its business -- JACQUES PERETTI
