The Hard Sell

 

The Hard Sell: Crime and Punishment at an Opioid Startup / Evan Hughes, read by Mike Chamberlain

John Kapoor developed a powerful opioid pain medicine in response to his wife’s suffering with cancer.  But then capitalism takes over and the company he founded becomes exactly what you would expect, focused on profits at any cost. The team Kapoor recruits goes down the rabbit hole of unethical and illegal behavior to boost their paychecks. All in all, this is just another brick in the wall of the Opioid crisis.  Narrator Mike Chamberlain does a great job of adding to the procedural quality of this true crime story.  He is adept at taking us through the facts with a compassionate but neutral observer calm.
