by Jerry Speziale

Product description From the start, the man New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik called "a hurricane," Jerry Speziale was a different kind of cop. A former juvenile delinquent, Jerry was a loose cannon whose antics got him into the crack dens and shooting galleries of New York's meanest streets - and onto an elite DEA narcotics task force charged with taking down South American's powerful Cali drug cartel. Under the tutelage of a smooth-talking confidential informant, jeans and tee-shirt Jerry was transformed into an Armani-clad Geraldo Bartone, the world's top drug trafficker. As Geraldo, he did things he had never dreamed of - piloting planes, captaining cocaine-filled yachts, and meeting the most powerful kingpins in the brutal drug trade. One false move could take him out of the game for good. Yet within a few years, Jerry and the other officers of the task force became the most sussessful drug unit in the U.S. history. Riding a wave of glory and success, Jerry had no idea that he would be the one scammed next. This is his story. As told by Heath Kizzier. 10 CD's 10.8 Hrs. Review Exciting and authentic!
