The Heart Broke In book cover

A scientist on the verge of a medical breakthrough gets caught up in her TV-star brother's machinations when he tries to save himself from a slimy, blackmailing journalist (who just happens to have been jilted by the scientist). A highly readable, ultimately compelling study of ethics, conscience and what we'll do to get what we want — or stay where we are. The Heart Broke In, James Meek, $33.
