Více o knize

Canadian Meds is a work of fiction that highlights the world of selling illegal drugs over the internet. The business of internet drug sales, particularly by companies based in Canada, has exploded over the last several years with the rise of prescription drug prices in the United States. The book is satire. The story follows Bill Callahan, a former US corporate executive who becomes an internet drug selling czar at a company he starts in Winnipeg called Canadian Meds. The company turns out to be very profitable for Callahan and the business takes off on the back of aggressive marketing and in-your-face sales tactics. Callahan is helped in his fraudulent sales effort by the Chief Medical Officer at the company, Dr. Rakesh Gupta. Gupta has his own demons to contend with, one of which is a nascent pill addiction that he satisfies by sampling the wares in company inventory and another is his love of Russian prostitutes in Montreal. The story details the rise and ultimate fall of the company through the eyes of a variety of colorful characters that are all drawn to the lure of cheap prescription meds bought online. The action takes place around the world, from Winnipeg to Dubai to Rio de Janero.
