The riveting front-page news story of an FBI agent falsely accused of ordering four mob hits.
FBI agent Lin DeVecchio was a key player in the New York Mafia wars from the late seventies through the early nineties, helping to bring down the center of Mafia power in New York and maintaining a thirty-year relationship with a top-echelon informant. Yet despite his stunning success fighting organized crime, DeVecchio was accused of taking bribes, selling information to the man who was his informant, and even personally ordering four mob hits.
Who went after Lin DeVecchio and why? How did a highly respected FBI agent become suspected of corruption and charged with four counts of murder? Now, in his own words, Lin DeVecchio offers a revealing inside look at the dual worlds of the FBI and the Mafia, and candidly exposes those who sought to frame him for crimes he never committed. DeVecchio and bestselling author Charles Brandt go behind the front page headlines and tell the fascinating story of a law enforcement officer who beat the mob bosses, only to end up fighting for his own freedom.
