Down and Dirty in Detroit Jim Yoakum

A federal agent goes rogue in 1970s-era Detroit and becomes its number one heroin distributor. But also among his crimes are extortion, illegal gun sales and explosives to gangs and the Detroit Mafia, fraud, blackmail, the attempt to rob an armored car, the threat to bomb the airport--and more. He was a dirty fed who operated under the noses of both his agency, and the police for years, but a simple mistake brought his attention to his superiors, and it took two cunning and relentless internal affairs agents to hunt him down, and bring him and his gang to justice. A gripping true story of a very bad man who got down and dirty in Detroit.
