“A fascinating and entertaining new page turner of a book.”
Robert Koch, Arthur Conan Doyle, and the Quest to Cure Tuberculosis
Capturing the moment when mystery and magic began to yield to science, The Remedy chronicles the stunning story of how the germ theory of disease became a true fact, how two men of ambition were emboldened to reach for something more, and how scientific discoveries evolve into social truths.
The Remedy, a Best Book of the Month on Amazon and iTunes, is out now – order your copy today.
“Goetz aptly demonstrates that both Koch and Doyle were doggedly inquisitive men who discovered that neither germs nor crime are any match for science.” – Publishers Weekly
“Goetz weaves together a compelling narrative ... reminding us of how far we have come, and how much we take for granted in modern medicine.” – BookPage
Go inside this mysterious story with a series of graphic novel excerpts.

My latest column in INC. magazine is up, about how important it is to document processes and protocols and insights. You'd think as a writer this would've been second nature to me, but it's actually something I learned from working with engineers at Iodine and GoodRx.
Thank you to David Shaywitz for the thoughtful Forbes write-up of The Remedy!
