SPECIAL AGENT My Life on the Front Lines as a Woman in the FBI

Hardback. For 20yrs, the author was on the front lines of some of the FBI's most memorable and gripping cases. Some have called her a real-life Clarice Starling and a female Donnie Brasco. She has tailed terrorists, gone undercover as a gangster's moll, and was one of the agents chosen to carry out the manhunt for the Unabomber in Montana. For the first time, she reveals the dangers and rewards of her career as a field profiler in the FBI - the world's most powerful law enforcement agency. Now retired, Agent DeLong offers a "day-in-the-life" glimpse of her work. Field profiling - pioneered by John Douglas and Roy Hazelwood, who trained Agent DeLong - is one of the most fascinating and challenging branches of the FBI. She traces the unusual career path that led her to crime fighting and recounts the obstacles she faced as a woman and as a fledgling agent. The story of her role investigating leads on the notorious Tylenol Murderer case is compelling. And she gives a true, behind-the-scenes, inside look at the efforts leading to the arrest of the Unabomber, including the media interference that nearly botched the case.
