Anatomy of a Federal Drug Agent: The True Story of the 1980s St. Louis DEA Drug Task Force

At the not so tender age of 42, Detective Timothy C. Richards is transferred to a DEA task force, consisting of young cops and Special Agents with the agency. Tim hits the ground running, gets beat up on his first drug deal, realizes that the agency and the special agents suspect him of being a drug dealing mole, and basically hate him with passion. Tim, whose background is in criminal intelligence, overcomes the barriers the agency places before him and eventually assists with the arrest and convictions of a large organized crime family. The book contains crime scene photos, arrest photos, photos of drug dealers and of cops and agents. There is an index with true names as well as names and photos of the cops and agents. It is cop/crook/dope dealer history in the big little city of St. Louis, Mo. Great read----true crime, not television blither.
