London—November 12, 2018: The Financial Times and McKinsey & Company today announce that John Carreyrou is the winner of the 2018 Business Book of the Year Award for Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup, published by Picador (UK) and Knopf (US), the tale of the rise and fall of Theranos, the blood-testing firm. Lionel Barber said, "Bad Blood is a brilliant piece of enterprise journalism. Carreyrou cracked the story of Theranos despite threats. He just gives us the facts and they are devastating. It’s well written and reads at times like a thriller."

“Bad Blood is a distinctive piece of work,” said Kevin Sneader. “There are lessons here about the importance of governance, and the proper trade-offs between fostering innovation and conducting due diligence. Above all, it combines deep reporting with the narrative pulse of a well-told detective story.”

The announcement was made at the Award Ceremony today in Toronto, hosted by co-sponsors BMO Financial Group and Bennett Jones.

The Patch provides a balanced perspective on the often-polarizing national debate about the development of Canada’s oil sands.
