Book excerpt: This is a true story of federal law enforcement officers & the war they waged on illegal organizations producing as much as 1,000 gallons of moonshine whiskey per day, seven days a week. It is written by a retired U.S. treasury agent & looks at the many facets of large-scale illegal production & distribution of whiskey in the southeast. Every incident in the book took place & is told as it happened. There are many humorous incidents & 40 photographs. The work involved raiding illegal distilleries, working undercover, chasing moonshine whiskey vehicles, investigating assaults on federal officers & numerous other aspects of law enforcement. From 1954 through 1964, ATF agents seized & destroyed 72,159 stills & 1,712,438 gallons of moonshine & arrested 71,266 violators. Twelve ATF agents were killed in the line of duty in this short ten-year period. Almost every agent in the southeast was injured, either by direct confrontation with liquor law violators or in their pursuit. It was a dangerous occupation. Improvisation is a unique & distinctive trait of the ATF agent. It sets him apart in that he has the latitude to make on-the-spot decisions & use initiative in apprehending criminals. ATF agents are "A BREED APART."

Elliot Elliot, aka E Squared. A botched drug raid yanks him off the street and into a cubicle at the Pearson Institute of Health Sciences, where he’s reduced to hunting down stolen laptops. Then the ultimate insult: track down an escaped lab animal, a seventy-five-pound black Labrador retriever. But the dog turns out to be an extraordinary creature at the heart of an international collision between science, money, lust, and life itself. And as Elliot struggles to understand what’s going on, the dog must wage its own desperate battle for survival . Elliot encounters a trophy wife from his own past, a professional killer with a medieval bent, a comatose surgeon with a checkered history, and a billionaire locked in a frantic struggle to stay alive—all connected to a dog that guards a secret far deadlier than anyone can imagine.

Book excerpt: In this “energetic” (Publishers Weekly) memoir, Victor Woods vividly recounts a trouble-filled and misunderstood coming-of-age in the suburbs of Chicago, the rollercoaster ride that led him to captain a multi-million dollar counterfeit scheme, and his life-changing stint in federal prison. In 1990, Victor Woods was charged by the US federal government with organizing a credit card scam worth more than forty million dollars. He refused to implicate his family and friends for a reduced sentence. His lawyer at the time remarked that he was “a breed apart.” In his authentic, matter-of-fact style, Woods shares the details of his evolution from a rebellious teen to a white-collar criminal and what inspired him to turn his life around while locked away as a federal inmate. Woods’s misdeeds and missteps remind us that sometimes we can be our own worst enemy. His remarkable turnaround shows us that no matter our past we can always make good on a second chance.
