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 Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49300464501040,"sku":"BD9727","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49300464533808,"sku":"ZE9727","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD [ZM]","offer_id":49300464566576,"sku":"ZM9727","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/9727-Square-cover.jpg?v=1775738726","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-9727","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
