The Medical Detectives: The Classic Collection of Award-Winning Medical Investigative Reporting (Truman Talley)

The classic collection of award-winning medical investigative reporting

What do Lymeâ€™s disease in Long Island, a pig from New Jersey, and am amateur pianist have in common? All are subjects in three of 24 utterly fascinating tales of strange illnesses, rare diseases, poisons, and parasitesâ€”each tale a thriller of medical suspense by the incomparable Berton RouechÃ©. The best of his New Yorker articles are collected here to astound readers with intriguing tales of epidemics in Americaâ€™s small towns, threats of contagion in our biggest cities, even bubonic plague in a peaceful urban park.
Â
In each true story, local health authorities and epidemiologists race against time to find the clue to an unknown and possibly fatal disease. Sometimes a life hangs in the balance, and the culprit may be as innocuous as a bowl of oatmeal. Award-winning journalist Berton RouechÃ© is unfailingly exact, informative, and able to keep anyone reading till dawn.
