  On a cold afternoon in February 1991, a frightening new drug hit the streets of New York City, a synthetic narcotic marketed in packets labeled “Tango & Cash.” As police scrambled to warn heroin users of the danger, the overdose victims began piling up in hospital emergency rooms and county morgues across three states. As a Drug Enforcement Administration agent said at the time, “We don’t know yet who’s putting this stuff out there, but whoever he is, he’s an ice-cold son of a bitch.” Fentanyl had come to America. In 2024, fentanyl is killing nearly 200 Americans every day, and not just heroin users, a seemingly unstoppable narcotic curse like none ever seen before. But few know that this plague began in the brilliant mind of the high-school dropout and chemistry prodigy that the DEA called “the best and most dangerous clandestine chemist” it has ever encountered. The clandestine chemist was George Erik Marquardt. Starting at just twelve years old, Marquardt used his extraordinary talents to make every illegal drug in the book, from bootleg booze to heroin. He brewed LSD for Timothy Leary and the Grateful Dead, methamphetamine for outlaw motorcycle gangs, nerve gas for Idaho Nazis, and even life-saving AZT for AIDS patients. But when that ice-cold son of a bitch turned to fentanyl, thousands of Americans would die. In LETHAL DOSES: The Story Behind ‘The Godfather of Fentanyl,’ award-winning author and former undercover agent for the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics John Madinger, tells the remarkable story of DEA’s three-year pursuit, the genesis of our fentanyl problem today, and the uniquely dangerous evil genius he spent hundreds of hours interviewing. Now you can read the incredible book on which the hit docuseries, THE GODFATHER OF FENTANYL, is based!

  In 2018, I suffered a massive cerebral stroke at the age of 24 after cracking my neck. I woke up in a hospital with little knowledge of myself, the world, or any grounding in reality because of the damage to my brain along with left-sided paralysis. I am not the person I was before and though I want to be them again I can't and must bury them, grieve, and start over. This is how I came to terms with my new existence while letting go of my past, not because I want to but because it is a requirement to move forward.

  ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
  "The Lemon Tree: An Arab, a Jew, and the Heart of the Middle East," by Sandy Tolan, is a non-fiction narrative that tells the intertwined stories of Dalia, an Israeli woman, and Bashir, a Palestinian man. The book begins in 1967 when Dalia, living in her family's home in Ramla, Israel, receives a visit from Bashir, the son of the Palestinian family who owned the home before their displacement in 1948. The lemon tree in the backyard becomes a powerful symbol of their shared history and the contested land. Through their personal stories, spanning decades of conflict, the reader gains insight into the human cost of war and the complexities of the Israeli-Palestinian relationship. Tolan weaves together historical research, interviews, and personal reflections to explore themes of loss, displacement, identity, and the enduring search for peace in a region marked by deep divisions and enduring conflict.

  ‘They say that ignorance of the law is no defence. So thank goodness for Monty’s book. I had no idea I was running so many risks in terms of how I have been leading my life! Lots of fun to be had here.’ - Sir. Peter Wanless, CB – Chief Executive, NSPCC 
  Have you ever heard a bizarre law and thought, that can’t possibly be true? Is it genuine? Was it ever in existence or just an urban myth that became so embellished over time? There are surprisingly, a great many laws still in existence on the statute books today, that would make your jaw drop. Whilst bizarre as these laws may now seem to us, it begs the question, are we in fact, unknowingly breaking these laws on a regular basis? 
  For example…Is it illegal to own a pet whale but not a tiger?Is it illegal to cause a nuclear explosion?Were mince pies once illegal?Was Dr. Frankenstein ever real?Why was cricket against the law?Why does The King hold an MP prisoner? 
  …all these questions and more will be answered in this latest book by Monty Lord. 
  This book is a highly entertaining read for anyone who enjoys reading about the more bizarre applications of UK law throughout the centuries along with some rather macabre consequences along the way.
