FBI Case Files Michigan: Tales of a G-Man
The stories in FBI Case Files Michigan are good enough to have been ripped straight from the headlines--and many were! Across the Mitten and through the Upper Peninsula, the Wolverine State has witnessed some thrilling and historic federal cases. In Detroit, FBI agents took point investigating the kidnapping (and safe return) of a GM executive's son and in a manhunt for an armed killer in the north woods near Escanaba. The Bureau was called in to discover who poisoned patients at the Ann Arbor Veterans Hospital and for a grisly double homicide solved by a persistent and determined fingerprint examiner. Michigan agents spearheaded the first ever investigation and prosecution of an internet threat, and legendary football coach Bo Schembechler inspired an epic international undercover operation targeting the illegal distribution of steroids. Local agents also helped identify the notorious Unabomber and played a hand in the bizarre fall of a Michigan militia movement founder. Retired Special Agent Greg Stejskal recalls these stories and others from more than thirty years as a G-man in Michigan.

Discovered this book in CVS (of all places!) on a rack with local historical books. I rarely buy books but I flipped through this one and then had to buy it.
Lots of familiar names as well as cases. I love reading this kind of stuff!
It felt like a guy telling a true case story at a party - very conversational and true to reality. The author is a great storyteller - humble and interesting. There were a few boring background/educational pages to provide necessary context that I admittedly skimmed. But I totally respect the author for including those bits; the book wouldn't have been as legitimate without them.
Wow - this guy did a lot! He was a lawyer, SWAT team leader and his son played football for U of M. So cool!
PARENTAL NOTE: My middle-school daughter likes this type of stuff and the book with okay for her with two significant exceptions - case 17 and case 21 (sex crimes).
