About this listen

A highly decorated veteran agent of the Drug Enforcement Administration recounts his incredible undercover career and reveals the shocking links between narcotics trafficking, and terrorism

"It always ends with one phone call. Months - often years - of undercover work comes to fruition with an innocent-seeming conversation. The last call. One last call to set them up; one last call to bring them down."

Over the course of his 27 years with the DEA, Ed Follis bought eight-balls of cocaine in a red Corvette, negotiated multimillion-dollar deals onboard private King Airs, and developed covert relationships with men who were not only international drug traffickers but - in some cases - operatives for al-Qaeda, Hezbollah, Hamas, the Shan United Army, or the Mexican federation of cartels.

Follis was, in fact, one of the driving forces behind the agency's radical shift from a limited local focus to a global arena. In the early '90s, the DEA was primarily known for doing street-level busts evocative of Miami Vice. Today, it uses high-resolution optics surveillance and classified cutting-edge technology to put the worst narco-terror kingpins on the business end of "stealth justice" delivered via Predator drone pilots.

Spanning five continents and filled with harrowing storiesabout the world's most ruthless drug lords and terrorist networks, Follis' memoir reads like a thriller. Yet every word is true, and every story is documented. Follis earned a Medal of Valor for his work, and coauthor DouglasCentury is a pro at shaping and telling just this kind of story.

The first and only insider's account of the confluence between narco-trafficking and terrorist organizations, The Dark Art is a pause-resisting memoir that will electrify you from page one.

very interesting

Though the was on drugs is unwinnable, the author takes you inside undercover and expresses the determination consequences & emotional impact of long term undercover. I have to admit getting so close and getting to know your target on such a deep personal level would have made it very difficult for me.

Ray Porter reads this perfectly as if he is Ed Follis. He's so convincing that listening to YouTube interviews of Follis are disappointing almost.
However, Follis' account of his Mastery of the Dark Art of being Undercover was incredibly amazing and intense. He truly is one of the last of the Dark Artists in my opinion. His courage and dedication to take down drug kings was astounding. It is men like Edward Follis along with any fallen agent and many countless others who are willing "To DieToday" for our nation's well being whom we all stand for during the National Anthem. God bless you Mr. Follis! Thank you for telling us your story. Read this Book!
