An obsessive true crime investigation of a bizarre and unlikely perpetrator, whos serving the opioid epidemics longest term for illegal prescriptions four life sentencesWritten in the tradition of I'll Be Gone in the Dark and True Crime Addict, combining Dopesick's heart rending portrayal of the epidemic's victims with Empire of Pain's examination of its perpetratorsThis haunting and propulsive debut follows a journalists years-long investigation into his father's old classmate: former high school valedictorian Paul Volkman, who once seemed destined for greatness after earning his MD and his PhD from the prestigious University of Chicago, but is now serving four consecutive life sentences at a federal prison in Arizona.Volkman was the central figure in a massive pill mill scheme in southern Ohio. His pain clinics accepted only cash, employed armed guards, and dispensed a torrent of opioid painkillers and other controlled substances. For nearly three years, Volkman remained in business despite raids by law enforcement and complaints from patients family members. Prosecutors would ultimately link him to the overdose deaths of 13 patients, though investigators explored his ties to at least 20 other deaths.This groundbreaking book is based on 12 years of correspondence and interviews with Volkman. Eil also traveled to 19 states, interviewed more than 150 people, and filed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the Drug Enforcement Administration that led to the release of nearly 20,000 pages of trial evidence.The American opioid epidemic is, like this book, a true crime story. Through this one doctors story, an era of unfathomable tragedy is brought down to a tangible, and devastating, human scale. Autorid: Philip Eil

Harry Harris Thai Cave Rescuer, joint Australian of the Year does something for fun that for the rest of us would trigger about four phobias. In near darkness and tight spaces, underwater and deep underground, he crawls through unexplored caves in whats often described as the most dangerous sport in the world. To us, thats a nightmare. To him, its recreation. Hes highly experienced, has done his research, controlled for all conceivable risks, and hes completely focused. Flooded underground caves are his safe space. And the discipline involved even the danger leaves him better prepared to manage the day-to-day stresses of life in the twenty-first century. Is he the only one who feels that way? Come on the ultimate armchair adventure with Harris while he talks with other risk-takers about why they do what they do, how they prepare, and how theyve handled things going wrong. Harry talks with people like climber Alex Honnold (of Free Solo), sailor Jessica Watson, mountaineer James Scott, and film director, and deep-sea diver James Cameron, amongst many less familiar world-beaters, each of whom has a fascinating story. We meet base jumpers, drag-racers, snipers, surfers, and people adventuring from the highest of skies to the deepest of oceans. Harrys conversations give us insights into what motivates these people and why a life without risk is no life at all. He believes that by doing the hard things in life you can push yourself a little further and become stronger, more courageous, and more resilient. COMPELLING IDEA: why do deep-sea divers, free climbers, and big-wave surfers take the risks that they do? How do soldiers and firefighters manage risk? What can we learn from how they prepare and what they experience, what can we take into our own lives?
