Clean Hands: How a Narcotics Officer Lost His Daughter to the Opioid Epidemic and Discovered Who Was Really Responsible (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798180483584)

He spent his career fighting drugs.

Then addiction entered his own home.

And the victim wasn't a stranger, a suspect, or a name in a police report.

It was his daughter.

Clean Hands is a powerful narrative nonfiction story that begins with a question almost too painful to ask: How does a narcotics officer lose his own child to the very epidemic he spent years trying to stop?

As the opioid crisis spreads across America, Kevin Simmers believes he understands the enemy. He has spent years enforcing the law, arresting traffickers, and fighting the destruction drugs leave behind. But when addiction becomes part of his own family's story, everything he thought he knew begins to unravel.

What follows is a deeply human journey through loss, grief, recovery, and an uncomfortable search for truth.

What you're about to discover will change how you see addiction, responsibility, and the people caught in between.

Few people know that some of the most devastating chapters of the opioid epidemic began far from alleyways and criminal networks. The hidden truth behind this crisis reaches into doctors' offices, pharmacies, courtrooms, treatment programs, living rooms, and communities across the country.

This book explores:

- The collision between law enforcement and addiction
- The devastating reality families face behind closed doors
- Why recovery is often harder to access than the drugs themselves
- The unanswered questions surrounding the opioid epidemic
- How grief can evolve into purpose
- The remarkable story behind Brooke's House and the lives it continues to impact

More than a story about addiction, this is a story about family, hope, resilience, and the search for understanding in a world where easy answers rarely exist.

Who should read this book?

Anyone affected by addiction, recovery, overdose loss, public health issues, law enforcement, family trauma, or the opioid crisis. It is especially relevant for readers seeking a deeper understanding of one of the most important and misunderstood issues of our time.

Why does this story matter now?

Because the crisis continues. Families continue searching for answers. Communities continue struggling. And the lessons hidden within this story have never been more important.

This is not a story about perfect heroes or simple villains.

It is a story about people.

About mistakes.

About love.

About loss.

And about the possibility that even after unimaginable heartbreak, hope can still survive.
