2021年歐巴馬總統最愛書籍巴美列．捷福獎非虛構寫作獎《紐約時報》暢銷書《時代》雜誌百大好書亞馬遜近一萬讀者4.7顆星好評Goodreads逾七萬讀者4.6顆星好評 因慈善事業聞名的薩克勒家族，利用鎮定劑煩寧（Valium）積累大量財富，其聲譽卻因疼始康定（OxyContin）而毀於一旦。本書出自《什麼都別說》（Say Nothing）一書的暢銷得獎作者之手，勾勒出薩克勒家族三代宏大且具毀滅性的故事。 薩克勒家族的歷史充滿戲劇性的情節──巴洛克式的私人生活、激烈的財產糾紛、會議室中的拳腳相向、光彩奪目的藝術收藏、馬基維利式的法庭謀略，以及利用金錢來美化名聲，並擊潰那些較無權勢之人。 許多知名機構的牆上都飾有薩克勒家族之名，如哈佛大學、大都會藝術博物館、牛津大學和羅浮宮。薩克勒是全世界極度富有的家族之一，但他們的財富來源並不透明，後來人們發現，薩克勒家族負責製造並銷售一款大賣的疼始康定，正是這款藥促成了美國鴉片類藥物的危機。 《疼痛帝國》的故事始於同為醫生的三兄弟，雷蒙德、莫蒂默和精力充沛的亞瑟．薩克勒，他們撐過經濟大蕭條時期的窮困潦倒及駭人聽聞的反猶太主義。亞瑟曾在一間野蠻的精神病院工作，他找到了更好的治療方式，並針對藥物治療進行創新的研究。他在廣告行銷方面也很有天分，尤其擅長行銷藥品，還買下一間小型廣告公司。 亞瑟為鎮定劑煩寧發想出一套行銷策略，而打下薩克勒家族的財富基礎。他收購一間藥廠，即日後交由雷蒙德和莫蒂默經營的普度佛雷德里克公司。從此，三兄弟開始蒐集藝術品、妻子，以及世界各地的豪華住宅。他們的子孫都含著金湯匙長大。四十年後，雷蒙德的兒子理查負責經營家族企業普度製藥。他們研發出一款鎮靜效果更強的鴉片類藥物疼始康定，攏絡醫生並影響食品藥物管理局，更藉此淡化該藥品的成癮性──這些正是亞瑟．薩克勒為銷售煩寧而開創的一套無情的行銷模式。日後疼始康定創造了約三百五十億美元的收益，而且引發一場公眾衛生危機，導致數十萬人喪命。《疼痛帝國》按時序記述針對薩克勒家族及其底下公司的調查，還有他們為逃避責任而不惜一切代價祭出的法律手段。 《疼痛帝國》是一部敘事性報導寫作的傑出作品，內容詳盡而引人入勝，描寫美國第二個鍍金時代下的越軌行為，研究超級菁英為免受懲罰而想盡辦法鑽尋法律漏洞的現象，並不斷深入調查薩克勒家族萬貫家財的背後，那赤裸裸的貪婪及漠視人類的苦難。

From the prize-winning, New York Times bestselling author of SAY NOTHING and EMPIRE OF PAIN, twelve enthralling stories of skulduggery and intrigue by one of the most decorated journalists of our time “I read everything he writes. Every time he writes a book, I read it. Every time he writes an article, I read it … he’s a national treasure.”– Rachel Maddow Patrick Radden Keefe has garnered prizes ranging from the National Magazine Award to the Orwell Prize to the National Book Critics Circle Award for his meticulously-reported, hypnotically-engaging work on the many ways people behave badly.
