Wondering if anyone has read this book "For Blood and Money", which details the story of Pharmacyclics—which developed the drug ibrutinib, a treatment for chronic lymphocytic leukemia—which was eventually bought by the pharmaceutical giant AbbVie in 2015 for $21USD billion

I've just come it and looks a very interesting & topical read, so have just ordered it.
