The inside story of a startup that made millions pushing opioids, until its cutthroat tactics were exposed and its executives put behind bars.
What The Reviewers Say
... a tightly focused and insightful account of how a company that went public in the most successful IPO of 2013 soon ended up a poster child for corporate greed and chicanery, a firm so corrupt that prosecutors brought it to heel using federal statutes created to fight the Mafia.
... fast-paced and maddening.
Hughes’ compact retelling of the Insys saga unfolds like a blockbuster film. Fans of Bad Blood by John Carreyrou (2018) will be captivated by this story of unbelievable greed and hubris. A must-read..
Does the world really need another book about the opioid crisis?...The Hard Sell by Evan Hughes proves a worthy addition to the collection.
