Storefront Sting

This thrilling story memorializes one of the most dangerous—and successful—series of undercover operations conducted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Written by the ATF special agent who took these operations from disrupting small time fencing schemes to infiltrating major criminal organizations, this book is the first time that the true story of these secretive operations will be told.

During the operation's run from 2006-2014, Lou Valoze's fictitious businesses allowed his team of undercover agents to take thousands of weapons out of circulation and millions of dollars of drugs off the street. Through these covert "storefront" operations, the author developed a unique investigative blueprint for removing guns from the hands of violent felons, gang members, organized crime members and drug dealers. This book also explores the dark reality of living a double life and how it becomes difficult to tell the difference between the good guys and bad guys.
