After 27 years from street cop to FBI senior executive, I have seen as much action on the street as I have behind closed doors in the office. I've learned a few lessons along the way. Share some of my experiences -from thugs and drugs to mobsters, terrorists and the stranger sitting beside you. This book will open your eyes to dangers you never knew existed.
