Meet Brick and Wax, two bright eighteen-year-olds looking for a
route out of poverty. When Baltimore was engulfed in riots in 2015
they helped loot pharmacies, stealing over $100 million worth of
opiates. The plan: to use their gang connections and programming
skills to set up a high tech drug delivery service. The result: the
teens became America's youngest drug lords, in the process sparking
bloody gang warfare and a nationwide wave of addiction and murder.
Now mixing in deadly circles, Brick and Wax soon found their own
lives were on the line . . . As gripping and compulsive as a
thriller, Pill City takes us into the heat of the action as Brick
and Wax outwit the FBI and DEA, gang members like Damage and Lyric
live and die by their own brutal code, the cops battle to stop the
carnage, and a high-school coach risks a bullet to get addicts into
rehab. Even today the teens' identity has not been uncovered, and
one is prospering in Silicon Valley. Award-winning criminal justice
reporter Kevin Deutsch has interviewed all the key players and
interweaves their stories to tell a gritty, hard-hitting story of
survival in the Baltimore underworld.
