And Wolves Among Us is a gripping new true crime anthology series from C-13 Originals.

It tells the stories of community pillars, soccer moms, and PTA dads whose seemingly perfect lives are merely an illusion.
On the surface, there was nothing remarkable about Larry Lavine. He lived in a quiet neighborhood with his wife and family, drove a Volvo, and practiced dentistry. However, from 1978 to 1984, he ran one of the largest cocaine enterprises on the entire eastern seaboard, distributing hundreds of pounds of coke every month and earning nearly two hundred million dollars.
His empire spanned two continents, three countries and fourteen states during Reagan's war on drugs. Through the voices and perspectives of law enforcement, drug runners, friends, business associates and Larry Lavin himself, season one of Wolves Among Us explores Lavin's dual life.
his impact on Philadelphia culture in the seventies and early eighties, and the stunning events that ultimately led to his capture.
Larry Lavin, as I know him, was a dentist who really was talented at what he did. They liked him, his patients, his staff. He's the kind of person that you meet and you just can't help but love him.

cocaine ring that catered to lawyers, stockbrokers, and other professionals. You gotta understand the genius in Larry. Nobody was doing coke at this point. He was smart enough to realize that that's where the drug industry was going. Illegal cocaine is coming into our country at alarming levels. From Hollywood movie stars to NFL player to Wharton School business grads. Look, he's a great salesman.
He could sell dirt to a dead man. To businessmen, lawyers, stockbrokers, people on the street. As an undergrad at Penn, he might have been making $10,000 a year. As a full-fledged cocaine dealer, he might have been making a million dollars a month. Everybody wanted cocaine, and I mean everybody wanted cocaine. No one could believe that this highly educated, young, handsome man was this kingpin drug dealer. It's funny, even when you're running something like that, you just don't think of yourself as a kingpin.
I just wanted enough money to pay for dental school. And then all of a sudden it snowballed into something else.
