Deep Cover: How I took down Britain’s most dangerous gangsters

Product Information

In Michael McGowan’s thirty years as an FBI agent, he worked more than 50 undercover cases. In this memoir, McGowan takes readers through some of his biggest cases in FBI history showing how the FBI always gets its man. I’m not normally a fan of nonfiction, but this memoir actually reads like fiction. The book does a great job of showing how undercover agents have to juggle not only their cases and family matters, but how they have to deal with issues stemming from adverse management. I related to McGowan’s portrayal of how management doesn’t always have the undercover agent’s best interest in mind. Management takes care of management and McGowan pulls no punches. It wouldn't be long before Shay's prodigious talent caught the attention of the top. Then came the call that changed his an offer to join the secret Level 1 undercover unit known as Omega. And it was easy to see why they wanted him; he wouldn't have to stray too far from what he already knew. He had all the attributes of a professional criminal - the athletic physique of a cage fighter, the talk, the walk. Streetwise and fearless, he'd be a match for the most hardened villain. He was given a new identity, his DNA and fingerprints were removed from the national database, and so began the life of Mikey O'Brien.

From "Deep Cover": At 3 P.M., a shirtless Chuy admitted us to the room. A drained looking Jorge watched us from the bed. "My people want me to call the whole thing off," he said almost before the door had closed. “They think something is very suspicious. You know, DEA agents are in your hotel right now." Under and Alone: The True Story of the Undercover Agent Who Infiltrated America’s Most Violent Outlaw Motorcycle Gang by William QueenDuring my time in the undercover program, I kept a journal hidden in the ceiling panel of my undercover apartment that contained characters, events and feelings I was dealing with on a daily basis. This journal led me to write a series of books about a female FBI undercover agent. Behind The Mask is a work of fiction but is based on my personal experiences working as an undercover agent. I wasn’t ready to say good-bye to my main character, so I wrote my second novel, Beyond The Cabin, which was released in August 2017. Beyond The Cabin is set in the Lowcountry of South Carolina, which happens to be my home. Writing has become an addiction, so the third book in the Lexie Montgomery Series, Below The Radar, comes out August 13, 2019. This book is unusual because it is loosely based on an undercover mission that I worked with a male FBI partner, who was also my boyfriend at the time. FBI management was hesitant to allow us to work together because of the rigors and stress of working undercover 24/7, but finally agreed to the operation. I’m happy to report that the case went well and we are happily married. This time he wasn't getting up. Neither were the two young women he'd just murdered. The two unarmed young police officers he cut down in a hail of 32 bullets and the fragments of a grenade, ending their promising lives so savagely, so senselessly. I felt empty. Cold. How had it come to this?'

American Radical: Inside the World of an Undercover Muslim FBI Agent by Tamer Elnoury and Kevin Maurer This was a brilliant crime fiction book I loved the story the plot twist was amazing. The characters were excellent plenty of twist and drama. Fast paced very enjoyable read loved it' The story grips you right from the start, till you reach the end, not one minute is wasted. Pace was excellent, the twists and turns you don’t see coming truly blows you away'floor: these are the ones that die to eviscerate. They actually turn in to level 23 slime when you eviscerate, so a decent challenge at 20 unless you have above average equipment. You definitely would want to take them one at a time anyways. York. The body of a sex worker is found in the woods, but it's not where she died. How did she get there? And who put her there? As well as answering those questions, Geraldine Steel has another unanswered question: where has her colleague and friend Ian Peterson disappeared to? The latest brilliant instalment in the series' I got through this in just a few days as it's one of those 'one more chapter' books that finds you still awake at 2am wondering where the time has gone' This is probably the most famous book about FBI undercover life, later made into a feature film starring Al Pacino and Johnny Depp. Using the alias of Donnie Brasco, FBI Special Agent Joseph D. Pistone spent six years working undercover to infiltrate the mafia. Over the years, Pistone witnessed and sometimes was forced to participate in horrific acts while gathering enough evidence to send over 200 gangsters to jail. Pistone’s case was the greatest infiltration ever by a federal agent into the mafia. During my career, I worked two long-term undercover cases, the first lasted three years and the second one four years. I can tell you from personal experience, that being away from family and friends for long periods of time is difficult and painful. Pistone spent six years of his life relocating his family from place to place for safety reasons, yet rarely spending any quality time with them. Pistone’s book is a riveting must-read.
