Description
The thrilling true story of one man who risked his life to infiltrate the most dangerous neo-Nazi group in the United States, an "urgent and exciting look into the life of an FBI undercover agent" (Joe Pistone) by "one of the top undercover agents in the Bureau" (Joaquin "Jack" Garcia).When Scott Payne was growing up, an '80s kid with a big attitude and a taste for sleeveless shirts, he could never have envisioned where he'd find himself on Halloween night 2019. Having transformed into show more "Pale Horse" and infiltrated the nation's most dangerous, fastest-growing white supremacy group, The Base, he was huddled with a cell of neo-Nazis in the backwoods of Georgia as they slaughtered a goat and drank its blood in a ritual sacrifice.
A decorated agent dubbed the "Hillbilly Donnie Brasco," Payne takes readers along with him on some of the most terrifying and riskiest assignments in FBI history. He went deep undercover with the lethal Outlaw Motorcycle Club in Massachusetts; to the front lines of the opioid epidemic in Tennessee; and infiltrated the Ku Klux Klan in Alabama. Through it all, he stayed married to the love of his life, raised two girls, and spent his Sundays at church, sustained by family and faith.

Not much NEW information here, especially if you are interested in this before. Overall pretty interesting but would not recommend. Also some passing and older views on satanism I didn’t expect to see in this book. Didn’t bother me, but random anecdotes about god caught me off guard.
The more I read, the more I hoped they have adequate security measures for his family now that he’s retired and talking. These people got more paranoid and dangerous by the day and that was several years ago for him when everything went down.
Thank you to Simon & Schuster Audio for an advance copy of the audiobook. I feel like hearing it in his own voice really added to the story.
