Synopsis

An FBI agent nabs an armed-and-dangerous drug dealer single-handedly. His reward: an angry reprimand for neglecting to call in for backup. Welcome to today's FBI, where crime fighting takes a backseat to brown-nosing and backbiting -unless you happen to be Special Agent Mike Devlin. A streetwise veteran of Detroit's downtown war zone, Devlin plays to win - and he plays by his own rules. Which is why he's now assigned to the Bureau's version of Siberia, midnight wiretap duty. But you can't keep a good man down for long, and when Devlin gets wind of a Mafia mole inside the FBI, he springs into action. Recruiting a squad of fellow FBI renegades, he sets out to stop the leak while staying one step ahead of the suits back at the office. Here is a novel that only an FBI agent could have written: an authentic tour through Detroit's criminal underworld, and a stinging swipe at the Bureau's bureaucratic follies.

Mike Devlin is an old school type agent and he is an odd fit in the "NEW FBI" staying true to himself and the "old ways" he takes you on a journey that is as action-packed as it can be and on the way he forms a unit that solves two crimes, while the other members of the FBI look lost and act as if......more

Goodreads review by Larry on August 04, 2014

I don't usually read fiction, maybe a few novels a year. (So this is not my preferred genre.) I bought this from a thrift store for a flight. "Witness" was moderately engrossing, it held my attention but it is not something that I would tell my friends that they should read. I found the physical des......more
