In the tradition of the great investigative classics Dangerous Doses exposes the dark side of America s pharmaceutical trade. Stolen compromised and counterfeit medicine increasingly makes its way into a poorly regulated distribution system--where it may reach unsuspecting patients who stake their lives on its effectiveness. Katherine Eban s hard-hitting exploration of America s secret ring of drug counterfeiters takes us to Florida where tireless investigators follow the trail of medicine stolen in a seemingly minor break-in as it funnels into a sprawling national network of drug polluters. Their pursuit stretches from a strip joint in South Miami to the halls of Congress as they battle entrenched political interests and uncover an increasing threat to America s health. With the conscience of a crusading reporter Eban has crafted a riveting narrative that shows how when we most need protection we may be most at risk.
