Cara McGoogan. Diversion, $28.99 (320p) ISBN 978-1-635-76888-6Journalist McGoogan debuts with a stunning investigation of a decades-long global scandal in which a treatment for hemophilia infected patients with fatal viruses. While the 1973 introduction of Factor VIII, a clotting protein derived from donated plasma, allowed for a massive improvement in the day-to-day lives of people with hemophilia, it also served as a means of transmission of bloodborne illnesses, including hepatitis C and HIV.
