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

The king of Florida pill mills was American Pain, a megaclinic designed to serve addicts as patients.

From a fortress-like former bank building, American Pain's doctors distributed massive quantities of oxycodone daily, mostly to traffickers and addicts who arrived by the vanload.

Muscleheads guarded the clinic, while former strippers ran the pharmacy, counting pills and stashing cash in garbage bags.

Under their lab coats, doctors carried guns, all legal...sort of.

American Pain chronicles the rise and fall of this groundbreaking pill mill and how it contributed to America's current opioid crisis.

The book features a diverse cast of characters, including wealthy bad boys, thugs, esteemed physicians, addicts whose lives were devastated by American Pain's drugs, federal agents, and grieving mothers who worked tirelessly to bring the clinic's crew to justice.
