A riveting thriller and true story that dives into the mystery surrounding one of the most controversial and misdiagnosed conditions of our time, Lyme disease. As a science writer, Newby was driven to understand why this disease is so misunderstood, and its patients so mistreated. This quest led her to Willy Burgdorfer, the Lyme microbe's discoverer, who revealed that he had developed bug-borne bioweapons during the Cold War, and believed that the Lyme epidemic was started by a military experiment gone wrong.
