Doctor Dealer is the story of Larry Lavin, a bright, charismatic young man who rose from his working-class upbringing to win a scholarship to a prestigious boarding school, earn Ivy League college and dental degrees, and buy his family a house in one of Philadelphia's most exclusive suburbs. But behind the facade of his success was a dark secret — at every step of the way he was building the foundation for a cocaine empire that would grow to generate over $60 million in annual sales. Award-winning journalist Mark Bowden tells the saga of Lavin's rise and fall with the gripping, novelistic narrative style that won him international acclaim as the author of the New York Times best-seller Black Hawk Down. "Immensely readable . . . eye-popping . . . a smoothly crafted, exciting, can't-put-it-down book." — Louisville New Voice
This is the true story of a man hooked on the powerful Yuppie ethic of raw greed and of the single-minded FBI agents who finally tracked him down.

Doctor Dealer: The Rise and Fall of an All-American Boy and His Multimillion-Dollar Cocaine Empire
If I could, I'd give it 3 1/2 stars. I felt like sometimes the story had too much detail that made the book go longer than necessary. And one annoying recurrence in the book was the author describing almost every woman in the book as "chubby". (Except the "whores". I guess they were thin.) He did it a few times with men too. No idea why the weight of these people were significant. The only time he had a point to describing a group of female students as chubby it was to then point out how desperate Larry was because he was having sex with them. Because only desperation could possibly lead a guy to have sex with a woman who wasn't thin?! Anyway, I'm getting too worked up here. It WAS an interesting story. I'm glad I read it. It was surprising though, it was really difficult to find anything online about other "characters" in the book. I wanted updates since this story is so old. It's like everyone mentioned in this book had the internet scrubbed. Oh well. A good story nonetheless!
