'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*
'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.'
*New York Times Book Review*
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
*The New York Times*
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
*The Boston Globe*
Does the world really need another book about the opioid crisis? .
. . The Hard Sell by Evan Hughes proves a worthy addition to the
collection.
*The Washington Post*
A richly reported, mesmerizing tale, and a devastating indictment
of our broken pharmaceutical industry. Everyone should read this
book.
*Sheelah Kolhatkar, author of Black Edge*
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 corruption
*Ted Conover, author of Newjack*
