The discovery of the double helix structure of DNA by James Watson and Francis Crick in 1953 underlies almost all the achievements of modern genetics and molecular biology. But how did scientists come to this result and why did Watson and Crick deserve credit for the success?

In the story by Markel, one of the world's leading experts in the history of medicine, the greatest scientific breakthrough is the work of five (not two!) scientists, each worthy of fame and immortality: James Watson, Francis Crick, Rosalind Franklin, Maurice Wilkins and Linus Pauling. Brilliant minds, strong personalities, they turned out to be both comrades and competitors. At the same time, the author makes Rosalind Franklin the main character, thus raising, in addition to other important topics in the scientific world, issues of male chauvinism, anti-Semitism and injustice.

The author takes the reader on an intellectual journey, recreating the intense pursuit of truth and the complex picture of personal relationships, delicately touching on the mysteries of life that go far beyond biology.
