New Media Story On Undercover Cops

It’s always a pleasant boost when there’s a new media story on undercover cops especially when I’m featured. It often leads to a spike in sales, albeit not a huge one on every single occasion.

He suddenly glared at me with a killer look. “Are you guys cops?” he asked. I laughed it off as he added, “If you are…” and touched my forehead with his two fingers, imitating a gun. “Pop! Pop!” he spat, imitating an execution.

I later learned my operational boss handed him over to the DEA. He ended up being sentenced to 25 years in America.
