Dopesick: Dealers, Doctors, and the Drug Company that Addicted America

Beginning with a single dealer who lands in a small Virginia town and sets about turning high school football stars into heroin overdose statistics, New York Times bestselling author Beth Macy endeavors to answer a grieving mother’s question—why her only son died—and comes away with a harrowing story of greed and need. From the introduction of OxyContin in 1996, Macy chronicles the devastating opioid crisis in America like no book has done before.
