Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. In this gritty expos , a firsthand look inside U.S. undercover operations targeting the immigrant smuggling, counterfeiting, and drug rings of Mexico's dangerous mafia. For three decades, U.S. government agent Hipolito Acosta's undercover work against Mexico's mafia routinely made national headlines, and he quickly gained a reputation as a daring crime fighter who sent bad guys to prison, using his intelligence and audacity to stay one step ahead of those who would kill him if his cover was ever blown. Using multiple disguises and aliases, Acosta participated in scores of dangerous clandestine operations: He was locked into the back of a U-Haul truck along with a group of hopeful immigrants--half of them children--and smuggled from Mexico to Chicago without food, water, or basic hygiene; he infiltrated a gang of international counterfeiters; was mistakenly thrown into a Mexican jail where authorities purposely revealed his identity to his criminal cellmates; and was the target of multiple murder plots. Raised in a Texas migrant worker family near the Mexican border, Acosta empathizes with the men and women who sought freedom, sanctuary, and a better life for their families in the United States. This is the first book to take readers directly onto the frontlines, via someone who is so intimately familiar with these worlds, to expose the criminal workings of illegal immigration as well as the human plight that drives it. The Shadow Catcher reads like the best crime novels, as Acosta takes readers on a backseat ride through the unknown world of Mexico's organized crime families and goes behind the headlines to reveal the human dramas that, for him, were all in a day's work.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service agents Hiplito Poli Acosta and A.J. Irwin led the takedown of the largest human smuggling operation in history. Prior to this case, the INS was a federal agency whose strategy was limited to going after smugglers within U.S. borders. But this changed with the undercover operation to capture Maan Singh. Naranjan Maan Singh, known as the godfather of alien smuggling, was responsible for 75% of South Asians entering the U.S. illegally through its southern borders. In typical governmental bureaucracy, the intelligence community knew about the smuggler, but INS agents on the ground weren't aware of his exploits. When the regional office learned about him, a plan was made to shut down the entire trafficking operation, from the coyotes at the bottom all the way to Maan Singh at the top. Poli and A.J. risked their lives confronting thugs, corrupt police officers and hit men in this dangerous undercover operation that spanned the globe, from Quito, Ecuador--Singh's headquarters--to Guatemala, Panama, the Bahamas and the United States. While the agents expected to confront danger while posing as smugglers, they didn't expect their own colleagues to jeopardize their work--and lives--with petty jealousies and back-stabbing. A fascinating look at the inner workings of the Immigration and Naturalization Service, this exciting page-turner follows government agents as they expose money laundering and human trafficking throughout Latin America, the Caribbean and the U.S. …

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. You have a lot of enemies, Hiplito. I heard rumors in jail that some of the people you busted are going to try to kill you, so you better watch yourself. U.S. Special Agent Hiplito Acosta had put lots of thugs in jail, but the death threat from an imprisoned convict was still a shock.
 
 Acosta recounts his often-dangerous exploits as a law enforcement agent over more than 30 years, which frequently included going undercover as a human smuggler or an undocumented immigrant. He targeted those who took advantage of immigrants, stuffing them into car trunks for hours-long drives from the border to the north; counterfeiters who, for the right price, provided false social security cards and other papers; and even corrupt agents who earned significant financial rewards on the backs of desperate migrants. 
 
 Though catching drug dealers wasn't in his job description, when the opportunity to take them down presented itself, Acosta enthusiastically compliedeven if he had to do it without the support of governmental agencies. And later in his career, diplomatic postings in the Philippines and Mexico expanded his experience with immigration issues.
 
 This exciting memoir of a life spent in pursuit of human traffickers is an eye-opening look at smugglers and other criminals involved in the sale of counterfeit documents, narcotics and weapons.…
