I had some bones to pick with Mike Papantonio. I wasn’t happy with what happened to one of my favorite characters in “Law and Vengeance” and I let Mike know that when I picked up this book at a book signing in Las Vegas. Mike smiled and let me know that “You’re not the only one upset with what happened to him!” It turns out the person in real life that the character was loosely based on wasn’t happy either! Hah!
With that out of the way I was happy to pick up my copy of Law and Addiction. Frankly I was curious about how Mike would frame the book. I’m familiar with the opioid crisis, how is that a legal thriller? How do you make a a city/county/state suing Big Pharma a gripping tale?
Well, no surprise, Mike figured it out. Within the first few chapters you’re drawn into the new characters in the book. You’re wondering how and when Deke and his firm get involved and what newcomer Jake will do.
I’m familiar with the opioid cases but I learned a LOT about what actually happened to start it in this book. I had no idea the lengths the opioid makers went to push their drugs, or how they knew (allegedly) that their drugs weren’t going to people who needed them for pain, but to addicts, both legal and illegal. I also had no idea how this resulted in spikes in heroin use.
You’ll learn a lot about why we are in the situation we are with opioids if you read this book. As Mike noted when he signed my book, it’s “mostly true.”
You’ll also really enjoy the twists and turns as Jake and team go through the legal wrangling that takes place, and talks about big payoffs to shut down lawsuits??? I can tell you that absolutely happens.
Pick up Law and Addiction! Mike gets better and better at grabbing your attention right away, and he makes the case and entire book really, really exciting! A few twists I didn’t see coming, especially one at the end! Wow!
Fingers crossed it won’t take another year for another book! Keep on writing Mike! Thanks for putting “mostly true” stories from the courtroom out there for all of us to enjoy!

it's alright general fiction, but you will not come knowing a whole lot more than when you began.
