Description:
<DIV>Stolen, tainted, and compromised counterfeit medicine has increasingly made its way into a poorly regulated distribution system&mdash;reaching vulnerable and unsuspecting patients who stake their lives on it. The heart of the problem lies in South Florida&mdash;and <I>Dangerous Doses</I> exposes it through a &ldquo;ragtag group of seasoned investigators who seem as if they were cast right out of an episode of&#160;<I>The Wire&rdquo; </I>(<I>U.S. News &amp; World Report</I>)<I>.</I><BR /> &#160;<BR /> In Katherine Eban&rsquo;s hard-hitting examination of America&rsquo;s secret ring of drug counterfeiters, these tireless investigators follow the trail of medication 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&rsquo;s health.<BR /> &#160;<BR /> Eban&rsquo;s revelatory and damning crusade &ldquo;combines investigative diligence, a natural storyteller&rsquo;s gift for narrative, and a consumer advocate&rsquo;s practical prescriptions for what to do about the counterfeit drugs that may have contaminated the supply at your local drug store. The result: A rare literary event&mdash;muckraking with a human face&rdquo; (Victor Navasky, former publisher of <I>The Nation</I>)<I>.</I><BR /> &#160;<BR /> &ldquo;An expos&eacute; that wades into more rank Florida unseemliness than a Carl Hiaasen novel, and easily boasts three times the number of sleazebag villains.&rdquo; &mdash;<I>Salon</I><BR /> &#160;<BR /> &ldquo;A riveting tale&#160;.&#160;.&#160;. part detective story, part pharmacological primer.&rdquo; &mdash;<I>New York Sun</I></DIV>
