Under Too Long: Bombs, Drugs, Untaxed Alcohol, Terrorism, And The Undercover Agents Who Brought It All Down (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781947521179)

In 2007, agents of the New York State Petroleum, Alcohol, and Tobacco Bureau (PATB) seized over half a million dollars in untaxed alcohol, drugs, and guns. This takedown, the largest in New York history, led to 87 arrests, the recovery of an unprecedented quantity of cocaine, crack, and marijuana, and captured the attention of law enforcement agencies all around the world.

Under Too Long is the story of the PATB undercover team that led this investigation, as seen through the eyes of "Billy the Liquor Guy." Billy's twelve-year odyssey into the world of undercover operations led him to dine in the homes of the "bad guys, " buy bombs from a man in Yonkers, travel to Tunisia to find an informant, and be hired as a hit man. But his undercover life took an enormous toll on Billy and his family, almost destroying them both. The only thing he could rely upon to get him through were his confidence, his sense of humor, and his team.

This story combines true life investigation, graphic behind-the-scenes scenarios, and a personal tale about what happens psychologically to an agent when he's undercover too long.

Under too Long is available in paperback, hardcover, and ebook editions.
