A risky choice, one he did not take lightly, but he knew deep inside it was the only way forward for his peace of mind. Carefully written to avoid revealing any government secrets, this is his personal story, thrilling, surprising and an eye-opener into the life of, An Ordinary Guy, who truly was, An Unknown Spy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rico Lopez is a twice-divorced, moderately successful Mexican immigrant who is living the life of a small business owner when unexpectedly, an agent from the local DEA office shows up with a strange request. He would like to hire Rico for one day to go undercover and gather intel for them on a suspected drug cartel leader. Unfortunately, the seemingly easy, one-time assignment goes bad, and Rico is drawn into a life as a drug agent that while dangerous, also energizes him and forces him to draw on strengths he never knew he had. Rico's relationship with Mike Andress, the charismatic agent who hired him, is at the heart of the story. At times, as his operations intensify in danger and complexity, Rico becomes scared or disenchanted. But Mike persuades him to keep going, and over time, Rico realizes he's not only a good undercover agent but he's also never been happier in his life. As his confidence grows, Rico gets romantically entangled with a sexy, saucy woman who sees Rico as her very own James Bond. Their torrid love life adds a complicating wrinkle but fortunately, before things get too out of hand, Rico's first wife re-enters the picture and gets Rico centered again. This fast-moving tale, with its ordinary hero and a rich cast of nuanced, supporting characters, leads the reader through a series of improbable events until, sooner than the reader would like, the story with a twist that caps it off perfectly.

Book Synopsis FBI & an Ordinary Guy - The Private Price of Public Service by : Mark Johnston
Download or read book FBI & an Ordinary Guy - The Private Price of Public Service written by Mark Johnston and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2015-12-01 with total page 519 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FBI & An Ordinary Guy, -The Private Price of Public Service - is a memoir about the many chilling, sometimes comical, events in a career as an FBI agent and the personal price some of us paid. For me, coming from a rough childhood I confronted the choices of becoming a clergyman, crook or cop. As an FBI agent in New York and other large American cities, we faced outlaw motorcycle gangs, the Mafia, drug kingpins, and terrorists; land pirates. I personally had many successes, but hard-won victories eventually sapped my energy and spirit. Along the way I had to come to grips with the murders of a squad partner, two New York City cops and several government witnesses. The public knows little about the stress and high emotional costs the guardians of their safety pay in the constant battle against crime and terror. The favorite antidotes of many law enforcement peers —crawling into a bottle or the wrong bed—proved to provide little long-lasting comfort. FBI & An Ordinary Guy reveals the inner working of the FBI, the humanness of its family members, and the real life story behind some of its major cases. But, this factual account is told through a genuine framework of the bitter sweet contrast of the gritty horrors of law enforcement versus affectionate father to daughter communication via never mailed letters to my children.

Book Synopsis The Extraordinary Life of an Ordinary Man by : Paul Newman
Download or read book The Extraordinary Life of an Ordinary Man written by Paul Newman and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2023-07-25 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • The raw, candid, unvarnished memoir of an American icon. The greatest movie star of the past 75 years covers everything: his traumatic childhood, his career, his drinking, his thoughts on Marlon Brando, James Dean, Elizabeth Taylor, John Huston, his greatest roles, acting, his intimate life with Joanne Woodward, his innermost fears and passions and joys. With thoughts/comments throughout from Joanne Woodward, George Roy Hill, Tom Cruise, Elia Kazan and many others. A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: TIME and Vanity Fair "Newman at his best…with his self-aware persona, storied marriage and generous charitable activities…this rich book somehow imbues his characters’ pain and joy with fresh technicolor." —The Wall Street Journal In 1986, Paul Newman and his closest friend, screenwriter Stewart Stern, began an extraordinary project. Stuart was to compile an oral history, to have Newman’s family and friends and those who worked closely with him, talk about the actor’s life. And then Newman would work with Stewart and give his side of the story. The only stipulation was that anyone who spoke on the record had to be completely honest. That same stipulation applied to Newman himself. The project lasted five years. The result is an extraordinary memoir, culled from thousands of pages of transcripts. The book is insightful, revealing, surprising. Newman’s voice is powerful, sometimes funny, sometimes painful, always meeting that high standard of searing honesty. The additional voices—from childhood friends and Navy buddies, from family members and film and theater collaborators such as Tom Cruise, George Roy Hill, Martin Ritt, and John Huston—that run throughout add richness and color and context to the story Newman is telling. Newman’s often traumatic childhood is brilliantly detailed. He talks about his teenage insecurities, his early failures with women, his rise to stardom, his early rivals (Marlon Brando and James Dean), his first marriage, his drinking, his philanthropy, the death of his son Scott, his strong desire for his daughters to know and understand the truth about their father. Perhaps the most moving material in the book centers around his relationship with Joanne Woodward—their love for each other, his dependence on her, the way she shaped him intellectually, emotionally and sexually. The Extraordinary Life of an Ordinary Man is revelatory and introspective, personal and analytical, loving and tender in some places, always complex and profound.
