A riveting narrative non fiction read about three generations of the Sackler Family that solely owned Purdue Pharma that create the OxyContin drug that played an important role in sparking the opioid crisis in North America. Keefe is an expert profiler and builds each family member from scratch using notes and quotations from emails and legal documents. In the process you develop an understanding of human behaviour and power. It also shows you how money can buy influence and the ability to wipe your sins away using costly legal counsel. Reading about the sackler dynasty will help you understand human behaviour better and this book made me wiser in a lot of different ways.

Get ready to gnash your teeth and elevate your heart rate…these people, the Sacklers, are awful. If there was a Hell, which there’s not, all the worse, they should go straight to it.
