Produktbeschreibung

The Big White Lie, by New York Times best-selling author and former DEA undercover agent, Michael Levine, is a fly-on-the-wall look at the top-secret deep cover operation that ripped the lid off CIA sabotage of the War on Drugs. The New York Times described the book as a "hair-raising" non-fiction book that "moves with the speed of a first-rate thriller." Publishers Weekly gave it a starred review calling it a "shocking exposé." Follow Levine, called "America's top undercover agent" by 60 Minutes, into the world of ruthless drug barons, kill-crazy assassins, secret police and corrupt government officials. The trail leads to the breathtakingly beautiful woman whom Pablo Escobar called "The Queen of Cocaine" - Sonia Atala. Levine, posing as Sonia's lover, barely escapes the operation with his life but not before learning that America's true enemies in the War on Drugs are not found in the jungles of South America but in the basements and back rooms of CIA headquarters.

Autorenporträt

Michael Levine, called "America's top undercover agent for 25 years" by 60 Minutes, is the New York Times bestselling author of "Deep Cover," "The Big White Lie" and "Triangle of Death." Not only was Levine one of the most decorated undercover agents in the history of the Drug Enforcement Administration but he is also one of only a handful of agents that was known for excelling at the most dangerous of all undercover assignments: Deep Cover. Levine would travel the globe posing as an American Mafia don armed with nothing but a false passport and a pocket full of cash to conduct face-to-face multi-ton drug trafficking deals with the world's top drug barons. He beat the odds and lived to become a writer. He is also active as a court qualified expert and trail consultant in Covert Operations, International Narcotics Trafficking, Informant Handling and Police Use-of-force. He is currently lecturing on Undercover Survival Tactics & Informant Handling for the US State Department in Brazil.
