Kevin Power was hired by the U.S. Customs Service in 1986 during the push for the “War on Drugs,” and spent over 30 years as a Special Agent, first with the U.S. Customs Service and later for Homeland Security Investigations. After his exciting trial by fire in Key Largo, he transferred to the Customs office in Tampa, Florida. There he started being assigned different and more complicated cases, including undercover operations and computer forensic investigations. He would also become a founding member of the office’s tactical team (SRT) and served as the agency’s liaison to U.S. Central Command for over 3 years. At the end of 2016, he retired and continues to live in the Tampa Bay Area. “Throughout my career, I always kept a journal to keep track of the hours worked on each case for reporting, but also to document some of the crazy events and funny stories that took place. After retiring, I went through my old journals looking back on my colorful, exciting career. I began writing about some of these crazy stories as part hobby/part therapy. I soon realized that, by telling the stories only from my point of view, I was not showing the forces that were actually driving the bad guy’s actions. I started to add sections where I wrote from the bad guy’s perspective, given all the details that we would later learn. This began to add depth and color to the stories. I liked the way that this brings the reader deeper into the action, knowing all the secrets, while showing us as we blunder through not being privy to the whole picture.” He has organized many of the most colorful and exciting stories from his career into a series of narrative non-fiction books, each one able to stand on its own. All of the stories are based on real-world criminal cases and real people. This is not just another boring, egotistical memoir going into unnecessary detail of his life. These are fast-paced, gritty stories that prove that fact is often far stranger than fiction in these cases.
