{"product_id":"9781529063073","title":"Empire Of Pain","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe gripping and shocking story of three generations of the Sackler family and their roles in the stories of Valium and Oxycontin, by the prize-winning, bestselling author of Say Nothing.\u003cbr\u003eThe Sackler name adorns the walls of many storied institutions - Harvard; the Metropolitan Museum of Art; Oxford; the Louvre. They are one of the richest families in the world, known for their lavish donations in the arts and the sciences. The source of the family fortune was vague, however, until it emerged that the Sacklers were responsible for making and marketing Oxycontin, a blockbuster painkiller that was a catalyst for the opioid crisis-an international epidemic of drug addiction which has killed nearly half a million people.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this masterpiece of narrative reporting and writing, Patrick Radden Keefe exhaustively documents the jaw-dropping and ferociously compelling reality. Empire of Pain is the story of a dynasty: a parable of 21st century greed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Patrick+Radden+Keefe\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003ePatrick Radden Keefe\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Patrick Radden Keefe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47379260735651,"sku":"9781529063073","price":385.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9781529063073_f1710f9f-bffb-497b-a1d0-0a22154e052c.jpg?v=1776562291","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9781529063073","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
