Covert: My Years Infiltrating The Mob by Bob Delaney

I just got this book this morning and have been reading it off an on all day. I just finished the book. In my opinion, this is an excellent read for anyone thinking about getting the book. Certainly is an amazing story... highly recommend it to anyone, official or not.

Resurrecting an old thread....just finished the book. It must have taken a lot of courage to take such a high profile job after going undercover like he did. He could have easily just tried to blend back in with the crowd after Project Alpha.

He's accomplished a ton in his lifetime. Safe to say he'll never run out of stories to tell between his undercover life and officiating in the NBA

And speaking of great USA Network shows, are there any pictures of the hottie on Covert Affairs in the book? I prefer books with pictures. And I read 'magazines' for the articles!

Very true. Same could certainly be said about Donnie Brasco... another great read if you haven't read it.

Hey,

Rich, I cannot make up my mind about her:

Is she:

1) The Best Looking Ugly Woman in the World or,
2) The Ugliest Best Looking Woman in the World?
