The Dark Art: my undercover life in global narco-terrorism

A highly decorated veteran agent recounts his incredible undercover career, and reveals the shocking links between narcotics trafficking and terrorism.

What exactly is undercover? From a law-enforcement perspective, its the art of skillfully eliciting incriminating statements.

Edward Follis mastered this dark art over the course of his distinguished 27 years with the USs Drug Enforcement Administration, where he bought bags of coke in a red Corvette, negotiated multi-million-dollar deals on board private jets, and developed covert relationships with men who were not only international drug-traffickers, but in some cases operatives for Al Qaeda, Hezbollah, and the Mexican federation of cartels.

Spanning five continents and filled with harrowing stories about the worlds most ruthless drug lords and terrorist networks, Folliss memoir reads like a thriller. Yet every word is true, and every story is documented. The first and only insiders account of the confluence between narco-trafficking and terrorist organisations, The Dark Art is an electrifying page-turner.
