No other investigation across his entire FBI career would ever match the level of intensity, excitement, suspense, and drama of operation “Paesan Blues”—this book is the inside look at that undercover investigation centered on an Italian mafioso and his associates in Miami and Italy.

Get the inside look at an FBI undercover operation that exposed an Italian mafioso’s global crime network.
This remarkable and entertaining story takes readers through the challenges, twists and turns, and inevitable administrative roadblocks one encounters while running a high-profile and complex FBI investigation. Interwoven throughout the story are highlights of key bureaucratic changes driven by culture and policy that took place within the FBI at the time. Jerry Hester explains how those changes had a negative impact on not only the Paesan Blues investigation but also the entire future of the FBI’s effectiveness and reputation.

Jerry Hester is a retired Special Agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). He led criminal investigations into violations of federal law involving organized crime, narcotics, public corruption, and counter terrorism matters.
