Now in promotable papebrack, Allegra Goodman's brilliantly original bestseller Intuition is a maginficently dramatic character-driven novel, at once an intricate mystery and a rich human drama in the tradition of The Corrections.

A charismatic doctor and a rigorous scientist are co-directors of a cancer research lab. They demand nothing less than complete dedication and obedience from their young protégés. In this high-pressure setting, one young man's experiments begin to show exciting results. At first the entire lab is giddy with expectation. But his colleagues become suspicious, and soon an all-too-public controversy engulfs the lab and everyone in it...

Intuition is a rich and compelling human drama about the quest for 'truth', that asks: who can you trust when you aren't even sure you can trust yourself?
