Doctor Dealer
Author; George Anastasia & Ralph Cipriano
Synopsis;
Dr.
James Kauffman and his wife, April, were the perfect couple: a
respected endocrinologist and a beautiful radio host. But under the
surface lurked a world of drugs, sex, and biker gangs. A world Dr.
Kauffman would kill to keep secret.
In
May 2012, April Kauffman, a well-known local radio personality and
staunch advocate of military veterans rights, was found shot to death
in the bedroom of the home she shared with her husband, Dr. James
Kauffman.
Six
years later, in the fall of 2018, Freddy Augello, a leader of the
notorious motorcycle gang the Pagans, went on trial for drug dealing
and murder. He was charged with arranging the death of April Kauffman
in exchange for $50,000 from her husband, who, in addition to
practicing medicine, was one of the area’s most prolific drug
traffickers.
Told
by two accomplished reporters and authors with exclusive insights and
details provided by two principal players, this is the story about
one man's descent into evil and the people he took with him. It's a
story about a doctor who helped flood the streets with opioids, about
a husband who hid dark secrets from his wives, and about a man so
consumed with greed and arrogance that he thought he could get away
with murder.
Thoughts;
I watch the ID channel and love true crime. I have seen this case on one of those programs so this book really caught my attention.
It was a story that's hard to imagine but it's also hard to read. There is a lot of back and forth and you have to try and get your barrings with it.
