Charles Graeber is an investigative journalist whose work has appeared in New York Magazine, GQ, Bloomberg Businessweek, and other publications. His first book, The Good Nurse (2013), is a true crime account of Charles Cullen, a nurse who killed patients at hospitals across New Jersey and Pennsylvania over 16 years. The book details how two detectives and a brave fellow nurse named Amy Loughren finally brought Cullen to justice. It was adapted into a 2022 Netflix film starring Eddie Redmayne and Jessica Chastain.
Graeber’s second book, The Breakthrough (2018), shifts to science writing, telling the story of cancer immunotherapy and the researchers who spent decades trying to harness the human immune system to fight tumors. The book covers the breakthroughs that led to a new class of cancer treatments. Both of Graeber’s books combine deep reporting with narrative storytelling, making complex subjects accessible to general readers.
