Just finished “Bad Blood” by John Carreyrou and while the whole book was great, I particularly loved the segments where Carreyrou himself becomes a character in the saga and the detailed recounting of finding sources, the process behind vetting the piece, and the role he played as Theranos collapsed.
Any non-fiction books with a similar breakdown of the journalistic process?

The Lost City of the Monkey Gods by Douglas Preston. He’s tagging along with a documentary crew while they think they’ve found a lost city in Honduras. Well, legend says the city is cursed and a bunch of the crew got sick. Like, hospitalized for weeks. It’s fascinating and horrifying.
