Is there anyone who can LMK a good book about drug busting.
This time I read "Practical Narcotics Investigations" from James Henning and it is a great read. But there must be a few more good books about my hobby out there.

Seriously, do you want fiction or non fiction?

Look for a book called "What Cops Know" on Amazon. It is a great read.
Never mid, I did it for you. :D

Non fiction. I read so much fiction books in all those years, esp. when I had my incident with the damaged foot. But now I work, with all the other stuff we have to do, in a team against drug crime. Well, we are not bad, but an old dirtbag like me is able to learn more about tactics and other stuff in the war on drugs, I think;)
Thanks about the book tip. Rep sent.![]()

For non-fiction, here are a couple of interesting books:
Drug Lords: The Rise And Fall Of The Cali Cartel, the World's Richest Crime Syndicate
http://www.amazon.com/Drug-Lords-Car.../dp/1903854385
Kings of Cocaine
http://www.amazon.com/Kings-Cocaine-.../dp/0061000272
.
I attended a 3-day HIDTA narcotics class a couple years back taught by Tracy Sparshott. Great class, and a really interesting guy teaching it. He's got a book about his work called "Trust Me": http://www.amazon.com/Trust-Me-Richa...455501&sr=1-19

Go to true crime in the book store. I always find several there.
"Man who say it cannot be done should not interrupt man doing it."
Old Chinese Proverb
German book stores are just different to USA book stores. We also have true crime books, but most are writen by victims of a crime, the dirtbags who does it and all want the same, a lot of money from the readers.
It is hard to find a book store that has good books in English, most are novels. Very low true crime books. I order a lot by amazon.de (.com), so I don't have to pay the very high s/h rates from the USA to Europe (sometimes $ 25 and more).
But, and this is the reason to open this thread, I'm unable to have a few inside and sometimes books are so expensive and so very bad. So I want to get the opinions of other LEO about good narcotic fight books.
@ suzanne, I wait the three weeks!!!! And, I know to enforce humor, do you know the dry german cynism humor we have over here????

LOL.....
I actually just started writing a book awhile ago, Patcher, just for the fun of it. The story is based on a woman who falls in love with a man, but she keeps taking off to Brussels to test his love. Riveting, hmm?
The backdrop is layered in passion, and utter angst.
I'll send you the draft.
