What We Say: A searing investigation into the Sackler family’s aggressive marketing of the painkiller OxyContin that fuelled the American opioid crisis. A story of greed and corruption that is all the more shocking for the family’s lack of remorse for the suffering of those affected. A page-turner that will leave you seething.
What They Say: “A damning portrait of the Sacklers, the billionaire clan behind the OxyContin epidemic… [Keefe] has a knack for crafting lucid, readable descriptions of the sort of arcane business arrangements the Sacklers favoured” – Laura Miller
