For nearly a decade, Charles Bowden wrote about the illegal drug trade. When he met a narcotics agent Joey O'Shay, he realized both men wanted the same thing, they wanted out. O'Shay had spent more than 20 years undercover and he realized he had stopped believing in what he was doing. But as Bowden points out it's not a story about the drug problem, it's a story of the human heart. His book is called "Shadow in the City."
Charles Bowden is the author of Shadow in the City: Confessions of an Undercover Drug Warrior [Indiebound|Amazon]
