Doctor Dealer: A Doctor High on Greed, A Biker Gang High on Opioids, and the Woman Who Paid the Ultimate Price by George Anastasia and Ralph Cipriano (2020) 364.1523 A

 

This book is about endocrinologist James Kaufman, who couldn’t be satisfied with the extraordinary life he led. He had a thriving practice, the perfect house, the best cars, and an amazingly beautiful wife, April. It was the kind of life most people only dream of having.

On a warm spring morning James is at work when he gets a sudden feeling that something is wrong with his wife. James calls the handyman who is scheduled to come to the house that morning and asks him to check on April. Moments later James receives a return call - the handyman has found April dead in the bedroom. James rushes home and when the police arrive, he appears to be a grieving husband. Yet looks can be deceiving and it is soon evident that something else is happening here. April’s daughter from a previous marriage instantly suspects her stepfather is responsible for her mother’s death. Only there is no concrete evidence. It will take a few years for the truth to come out.

That perfect husband and life were lies. James was later linked to embezzlement, biker gangs, and a drug ring which would lead to the truth of what really happened to April. While some justice will be served eventually, the real culprit would take his own life. This story tells how the truth does come out and shows just how far James went to keep his wealth and secrets away from his wife.

I found this book interesting and informative.
