Overview:

In the tradition of the great investigative classics' Dangerous Doses exposes the dark side of America's pharmaceutical trade. Stolen' compromised' and counterfeit medicine increasingly makes its way into a poorly regulated distribution system - where it may reach unsuspecting patients who stake their lives on its effectiveness. Katherine Eban's hard-hitting exploration of America's secret ring of drug counterfeiters takes us to Florida' where a team of tireless investigators follows the trail of medicine stolen in a seemingly minor break-in as it funnels into a sprawling national network of drug polluters. Their pursuit stretches from a strip joint in South Miami to the halls of Congress as they battle entrenched political interests and uncover an increasing threat to America's health. With the conscience of a crusading reporter' Eban has crafted a riveting narrative that shows how' when we most need protection' we may be most at risk.
