Confessions of an Undercover Agent: Adventures, Close Calls, and the Toll of a Double Life

De: Charlie Spillers

Narrado por: Aaron Killian

This true story of an ex-Marine who fought crime as an undercover cop, a narcotics agent, and finally a federal prosecutor spans a decade of crime fighting and narrow escapes. Charlie Spillers dealt with a remarkable variety of career criminals, including heroin traffickers, safecrackers, burglars, auto thieves, and members of Mafia and Mexican drug smuggling operations. In this riveting tale, the author recounts fascinating experiences and the creative methods he used to succeed and survive in a difficult and sometimes extremely dangerous underworld life.

As a young officer with the Baton Rouge Police Department, ex-Marine Charlie Spillers first went undercover to infiltrate criminal groups to gather intelligence.

After Baton Rouge, he joined the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics and for the next five years continued working undercover, from the Gulf Coast to Memphis and from New Orleans to Houston. He capped off a unique career by becoming a federal prosecutor and the justice attaché for Iraq.

The book is published by University Press of Mississippi.

narrator needs work

the story would have been better if the narrator would have been onto the story himself, it seemed as if he was getting bored reading the story. to me he wasn't a very good narrator. the story was good, but the narrator needs to learn how to keep the listener involved and interested in the story a little more. otherwise the agent had a awesome story, and I commend him for h is bravery and diligence in undercover work.

Dragged On

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Yes, but only gave it three out of five; because, Charlie's book was good but did drag a little

What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative?

The most compelling aspect is the fact that he is undercover

Would you listen to another book narrated by Aaron Killian?

The narrator I remember being average

Do you think Confessions of an Undercover Agent: Adventures, Close Calls, and the Toll of a Double Life needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

Yes, if Charlie made another book that would be great!

Any additional comments?

This review is written well after listening to the audio book.

Good story

Very intense. This was a good story. Didn’t kno it went down like that in the rural south. Well read too. You like undercover novels this is a good one.

Worth listening for sure

Enjoyed story I do recommend listening to it or reading. Being in law enforcement I did find it interesting

Great Listen

The only thing that I did not like was at times it was hard to understand the reader. overall it was a great story and a great listen

Excellent book, horrible narration.

I read the book and loved it. I purchased this to listen to on my commute. I was highly disappointed in the narration.

Awesome stories

Easy to follow along and had great stories! I’d highly recommend this book to anyone that likes undercover books.

Guts and luck

Mr. Spillers has guts to do what he did over years of undercover work. Shares, good, bad, and the ugly. He admits his mistskes and cites luck for some of his success in the crazy world he operated in.
Professional and humble.

Awesome book! Entertaining and Exciting!

Love it!! Keeps you locked in and forced! very interesting stories, seemed like a movie at times.

So/SO

It was a so,so book. I din't feel it was a great book having been in law enforcement for 37 years myself. I wouldn't recommend it.
