Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Hells Angels and fallen televangelists. Cross-country truckers and suburban mothers. Trailer parks, urban clubs, college campuses, and military battle?elds. Methamphetamine is the stimulant wiring every corner of American culture. Like cocaine and heroin, meth was ?rst synthesized for medicinal purposes. By the 1940s, it was a wonder drug used to treat depression, hyperactivity, obesity, epilepsy, asthma, and addictions to other drugs and alcohol. But meth truly exploded years later when biker gang cooks using burners, beakers, and plastic tubes brought their expertise to remote rural areas where the drug could be manufactured in kitchen labs. Acclaimed journalist Frank Owen follows users, cooks, dealers, doctors, and cops to uncover the dramatic story taking place in cities, small towns, and farm communities across America. No Speed Limit is a panoramic, high-octane investigation by a journalist who knows ?rsthand the powerful highs and frightening lows of meth. Review:“Intensely researched, fascinating . . . Owens account is refreshingly clearheaded and free of hysteria.” Publishers Weekly (starred review) “At once compelling and unsettling . . . disturbing, haunting, memorable, and at times morbidly funny.” Kirkus Reviews Synopsis:Journalist Owen takes readers behind the headlines to discover the truth behind what is being called Americas most devastating drug epidemic. He follows the users, creators, couriers, and law enforcers to uncover the reality behind the hype. What Our Readers Are SayingBe the first to add a comment for a chance to win!Product Details
