About this deal

Daniel M. (Chief Psychologist NY & NJ Detectives Crime Clinic & Administrative Clinician for US DOJ Rudofossi Written with the help of journalist Scott Hesketh, this is Doyle's personal account of the years he spent working undercover and what led him there. This is a fascinating, fast-paced, adrenalin filled account of those years. Doyle pulls no punches describing his roots, his years in the army, followed by years of clearing violent scum, such as the infamous Dale Cregan, off the streets of Manchester. This is the 16th book in the DI Geraldine Steel police procedural series, set in York. Her partner, Ian has gone undercover in London, being unable to tell anyone he was going. Geraldine is working on a sex worker murder incident with no obvious clues or suspects. It doesn’t help that Geraldine is worrying about what’s happing with Ian, especially the way their relationship had ended recently. 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'

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. When a sex worker dies in suspicious circumstances in York, Detective Inspector Geraldine Steel struggles to remain focused on the murder investigation: she is distracted by her worries about her colleague and life partner, Ian Peterson, who has disappeared. As Geraldine becomes close to her new DS, Matthew, she is unaware that Ian is working undercover in London, trying to identify a criminal gang who have been targeting her. Geraldine is in York investigating the death of a sex worker when another woman is discovered dead. Are the two connected? It's Geraldine’s job to find out. Meanwhile her colleague Ian Peterson is undercover in London trying to infiltrate a drug gang in the hope of putting right a wrong decision he made, but is he putting himself in jeopardy? American Radical: Inside the World of an Undercover Muslim FBI Agent by Tamer Elnoury and Kevin Maurer

Featured Reviews

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." Level 1: the Mutated Drones have extra stealth perception. Don't try sneaking up on them normally. Distract them - it works wonders. Ambush. Instant death. Now either vanish or sprint out to reset the other Mutated Drone. Repeat.

Shay grew up on a tough Manchester council estate where drugs and gangs were rife. A life of crime would have been an easy path to take. So it went against everything that was expected of him when he joined the police. I felt all the emotions; sad & frustrated on the writers behalf on occasions, and also curious, intrigued and excited about the operations as an undercover, OCU team member and others job Shay did as part of his job in the force. A highly skilled professional that chose taking out criminals of the streets as his n1 mission! 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' 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.Season one, The Drug Wars, tells the story of an FBI agent who goes undercover with a biker gang, and follows a trail of clues that eventually leads to the US invasion of a foreign country.
