Summary:
"A Mexican town, a drug company, a letter to the editor, pain doctors, and pill mills, a tale of drug marketing and the search for happiness in an age of excess. In fascinating detail, Sam Quinones chronicles how, over the past 15 years, enterprising sugar cane farmers in a small county on the west coast of Mexico created a unique distribution system that brought black tar heroin--the cheapest, most addictive form of the opiate, 2 to 3 times purer than its white powder cousin--to the veins of people across the United States"--Provided by publisher.
