Product Description:
This riveting, true-crime story tracks the operations of multimillion-dollar yuppie drug ring run by a twenty-six year old dentist and two of his classmates. The three fell into drug dealing while college students as an easy way to make fast money and they soon learned to manage their underground enterprise as efficiently as any Fortune 500 firm. Awash in sex, drugs and money, they built a fifty-kilo-a-month cocaine conglomerate, buying and selling enough white powder to anesthetize thirteen Eastern seaboard states. Until the FBI cracked the ring, its kingpin, Larry Lavin, a model husband and father, was earning over a million bucks a year for his 'services rendered.'

Rating: - wow
This is one of the best books I've ever read. Not one page was boring. I would recommend this book to anyone.
The author does such a great job on her research, I really wish there where other books she wrote that were similar to this story.
This book would be 6 plus stars if that was an option. Buy it now!!!
Rating: - Great look at the Philly coke biz in the 80's
Being from philly, i know alot of the characters in this book. that being said, i know alot of the characters in alot of gangster books written about philly, and alot of them suck or are a bunch of lies. this one is an exception! it's true, interesting and very detailed. so detailed that there's a chapter that basically tells you step by step how to re-rock coke. Carol Saline did a great job. i was impressed. AAAAAAA+++++++
also, 'doctor dealer' is pretty good too. it was written by ... Read More
Rating: - Money temps even the rational
An interesting tale of Larry Lavin. A dentist with a career ahead of him. The Lure of money led to him dabble in the "Candy" of the 1980's. Intriguing was how he hid so close to the authorities as a fugitive. Good reading. Perhaps he was pursuing what many of taught is the American Dream....well worth the read.
