The Right Side of the Law : Reminiscences of a Federal Narcotics Agent
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
This fictionalized, realistic look at the life of a federal narcotics agent follows Alton Haymon, former special agent still suffering from post tramatic stress resulting from work with both the Treasury and Justice Departments as drug agencies were merged to form the DEA. The conflict between his honest desire to enforce his country's laws and his need to protect his brother agents with whom he feels bonded is the major struggle of the book. Thefts of drugs and drug money and use of illegal wiretaps become common and agents' drugs use is wide spread. This struggle between good and evil and Haymon's continued risk taking causes his final collapse. Haymon, a broken 31-year-old man, resigns from what was up until then the most important thing in his life and finds himself living in the mountains of Western Colorado where, in a last desperate attempt at sanity, he writes his story.
From the Author
The similarities between Alton Haymon's time and today are great. The drug problem has magnified, but in the dramas of Hayman's time and in the present both the actors and the difficulties are the same -- all that seems to change are the names of the actors.
