Review Quote

'This is that rare story of the opioid cr in which the bad guys face a genuine reckoning. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. A tour de force.'

Review Quote

' A fast-paced and maddening account . . . What’s most surprising and powerful about The Hard Sell is not one company’s criminality . . . as much as how institutionalized these practices were across the modern drug industry.'

Review Quote

A pacey crime caper set against the backdrop of the opioid crisis . . . When I tell you that reading “The Hard Sell” is like watching a Scorsese film, you will assume I am exaggerating. Pick it up and tell me I’m wrong

Review Quote

Vivid . . . [An] 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

Review Quote

Does the world really need another book about the opioid crisis? . . . The Hard Sell by Evan Hughes proves a worthy addition to the collection.

Review Quote

A richly reported, mesmerizing tale, and a devastating indictment of our broken pharmaceutical industry. Everyone should read this book.

Review Quote

When you’re running a pharma startup, how does the obvious wrong thing to do become the thing you do anyway ? The Hard Sell, fascinating in the fashion of a slow-moving train wreck, is a study of corruptionA medical crime story, in the vein of Empire of Pain and Bad Blood, concerned with fentanyl and drawing back the curtains in exposing the on-the-ground tactics employed in pharmaceutical sales.

Soon to be a major motion Netflix film starring Emily Blunt

‘This is that rare story of the opioid crisis in which the bad guys face a genuine reckoning. I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough. A tour de force.’ Patrick Radden Keefe, author of Empire of Pain

In the early 2000s, John Kapoor had already amassed a small fortune in pharmaceuticals when he founded Insys Therapeutics. A boom time for painkillers, he had developed a novel formulation of fentanyl, the most potent opioid on the market.

Kapoor, a brilliant scientist with relentless business instincts, was eager to make the most of his innovation. But there was a problem: the drug was a niche product, approved only for cancer patients in dire condition. So he recruited an ambitious, persuasive team, who employed a variety of deceptive techniques, from zeroing in on suspect doctors, to falsifying patient records to deceiving insurance companies. Insys became a Wall Street sensation.

That is, until insiders reached their breaking point and blew the whistle. They sparked a sprawling investigation that would lead to a dramatic courtroom battle, breaking new ground in the government’s fight to hold the drug industry accountable in the spread of addictive opioids.

With colourful characters and true suspense, Pain Hustlers lays bare the pharma playbook. Evan Hughes offers a bracing look not just at Insys, but at how opioids are sold at the point they first enter the national bloodstream – in the doctor’s office.
