pickPatrick Keefe definitely deserves the Pulitzer for his extensive research and superbly written investigative story of the Sackler Family. I‘m just amazed by all the material presented in this narrative nonfiction that reads like a novel but unfortunately is factual. It‘s beyond imaginable the amount of wealth the family accumulated from shady business practices that would eventually become the worse epidemic engineered by man & greed. 👇🏼
Cinfhen If you enjoyed Bad Blood and Hidden Valley Road this is a book you don‘t want to miss. It was hard to put down. Perfect for bookclub discussion. 4y
