"This fearless, deeply reported book about laboratory accidents asks the haunting question some elite scientists don't want the public to entertain: Did the COVID-19 pandemic start with a lab leak in Wuhan, China? This is an obvious question.

In private, however, some of the world's elite scientists have seen a lab accident as a very real and horrifying possibility. They know what the public doesn't.
