Nearly 400 pages into the book Empire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty, author Patrick Radden Keefe tells the story of Nan Goldin.

Patrick Radden Keefe has investigated human smuggling, government espionage and the Northern Ireland conflict. With “Empire of Pain,” he takes on the Sackler family and the opioid crisis.
“I didn’t want to write an opioid crisis book per se,” Patrick Radden Keefe, the author of “Empire of Pain,” said. “The hope is that a certain kind of reader will be interested in this book, primarily as a story about a great American dynasty, and what I would argue is the corruption of a great American dynasty.”Credit.Caroline Tompkins for The New York Times
