American Pain: How a Young Felon and His Ring of Doctors Unleashed America???s Deadliest Drug Epidemic

Finalist for the Edgar(r) Award in Best Fact Crime! The rise and fall of the nation s largest painkiller distribution ring, American Pain, a mega-clinic that served as a prototype for the rest. Pill mills have spread across the country, but this is where it started. It s a gritty story of lax regulations, conflicts of interest, and good ol fashioned greed. With an eccentric cast of real characters, bizarre events, and a setting that runs from Kentucky to Florida, it's also a stranger-than-fiction Southern Gothic tale."
