#1 My grandfather, who worked for a moving company, took me to the Friendly Club to show me off to his friends. I was five years old at the time. Everyone listened while I played the accordion, and my grandfather couldn’t wait to sit me up on the bar.

#2 I was excited to be working for the IRS, but I was shocked by how un exciting it was. It felt like I had been sold a bill of goods. Later that day, Tony Carpinella rescued me, explaining that the office had two factions: desk jockeys like Skolnick, and guys like himself who got things done.

#3 I was a special agent in New York City, and I was transferred to Tampa to help combat the drug trade and money laundering. I enjoyed the position, and it was exactly where I wanted to be.

#4 I developed a undercover identity for my first undercover assignment, the Tampa Greenback task force had teamed up with the FBI and the Drug Enforcement Agency to infiltrate a huge maritime marijuana smuggling ring.

#1

My grandfather, who worked for a moving company, took me to the Friendly Club to show me off to his friends. I was five years old at the time. Everyone listened while I played the accordion, and my grandfather couldn’t wait to sit me up on the bar.

#2

I was excited to be working for the IRS, but I was shocked by how un exciting it was. It felt like I had been sold a bill of goods. Later that day, Tony Carpinella rescued me, explaining that the office had two factions: desk jockeys like Skolnick, and guys like himself who got things done.

#3

I was a special agent in New York City, and I was transferred to Tampa to help combat the drug trade and money laundering. I enjoyed the position, and it was exactly where I wanted to be.

#4

I developed a undercover identity for my first undercover assignment, the Tampa Greenback task force had teamed up with the FBI and the Drug Enforcement Agency to infiltrate a huge maritime marijuana smuggling ring.

#5

I met with Perlowin, the head of the San Francisco operation, who had made his first hundred thousand when he was a kid. I told him that if he helped us find a source, we’d cut him in for a piece of the deal.

#6

Perlowin was a major player in the marijuana trade. He had seventeen trips under his belt, all of which had gone without being busted. He was very intuitive, and could sense if someone was cops or not.

#7

I had to lie to Broun and Dubard over and over to make the case work. I had become Bob Mangione, and their lives and the lives of their families had changed forever.

#8

I was able to help the agents get the criminal masterminds they were after, and I did so by exposing myself to their pain. I never lost sight of who I was and why I was there, and yet the gravity of interacting with them so closely made me susceptible to their pain.

Insights from Chapter 2

#1

I was assigned to investigate George Meros, a prominent Tampa-area attorney who was financing the smuggling of hundreds of thousands of pounds of marijuana into the Southeast on oceangoing shrimp boats.
