Bottle of Lies: The Inside Story of the Generic Drug Boom

Eban describes the aftermath of the Ranbaxy case. Peter Baker, Thakur, and others who investigated generic drugs continued to avoid generics in their own lives and advised others to do the same. Thakur and Sonal were not able to repair their marriage and eventually divorced.
