Months¿often years¿of undercover work comes to fruition with an innocent-seeming conversation. The last call. One last call to set them up; one last call to bring them down.¿\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOver the course of his twenty-seven years with the DEA, Ed Follis bought eight-balls of cocaine in a red Corvette, negotiated multimillion-dollar deals onboard private King Airs, and developed covert relationships with men who were not only international drug traffickers but¿in some cases¿operatives for al-Qaeda, Hezbollah, Hamas, the Shan United Army, or the Mexican federation of cartels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollis was, in fact, one of the driving forces behind the agency¿s radical shift from a limited local focus to a global arena. In the early nineties, the DEA was primarily known for doing street-level busts evocative of \u003ci\u003eMiami Vice\u003c\/i\u003e. Today, it uses high-resolution optics surveillance and classified cutting-edge technology to put the worst narco-terror kingpins on the business end of ¿stealth justice¿ delivered via Predator drone pilots.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpanning five continents and filled with harrowing stories about the world¿s most ruthless drug lords and terrorist networks, Follis¿ memoir reads like a thriller. Yet every word is true, and every story is documented. Follis earned a Medal of Valor for his work, and coauthor Douglas Century is a pro at shaping and telling just this kind of story.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first and only insider¿s account of the confluence between narco-trafficking and terrorist organizations, \u003ci\u003eThe Dark Art\u003c\/i\u003e is a page-turning memoir that will electrify you from page one. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blackstone Audio, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47100509815024,"sku":"2940169916591","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940169916591_p0.jpg?v=1769903225","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940169916591","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
