Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Joe Rannazzisi had spent his career bringing down bad guys, but he was eventually ostracized by the DEA for his efforts to stop the flow of opioids into communities. #2 The opioid industry is a modern-day opium war being fought on American soil. The death toll from overdoses continues to rise as the opioid epidemic takes new forms. #3 The largest drug distributor in America, McKesson, was sending millions of doses of hydrocodone to six pharmacies in Tampa, Florida. The pharmacies then sold the pills over the internet to just about anyone with a credit card. #4 Joe had summoned the executives to Arlington to make good on a threat. The shipments to Tampa were clearly suspicious. If McKesson didn't get a plausible explanation, the company was obligated to stop the shipments and report the pharmacies to the DEA.
