“A merciless pit bull of an investigator” is what the Chicago Tribune said about Gerald Posner, a former attorney turned investigative journalist and author. He has written thirteen acclaimed books, including New York Times hardcover nonfiction bestsellers Case Closed, Why America Slept and God’s Bankers. Posner was a finalist for the Pulitzer in History for Case Closed. He has also written dozens of articles and opinion pieces for leading national magazines and newspapers and is currently a contributor to Forbes, as well as reporting on a wide variety of topics in Just the Facts, his Substack. His latest book PHARMA: Greed, Lies and the Poisoning of America (2020) won the Florida Best General Nonfiction Award and was shortlisted for Best Business Book by the Society for Advancing Business Editing and Writing. The New York Times said PHARMA was “a withering and encyclopedic indictment of a drug industry that often seems to prioritize profits over patients…[it] reads like a pharmaceutical version of cops and robbers."

Gerald’s wife, author Patricia Posner, works with him on all projects.
