  A former law enforcement agent details his adventures during his career working undercover in this memoir. 
   
  “I just want to make sure I’ve got this right. You hanged all three of them? . . .”  
   
  That’s how it began, a case where the cops are crooks and the crooks are cops, a kidnapping where the victim is the bad guy, and the good guys must cross some lines to get him back. Welcome to the upside down and backward world of the undercover agent, where nothing is as it seems, and people—including the undercover—may not be what they appear. Going Under: Kidnapping, Murder, and A Life Undercover by former undercover agent John Madinger takes you into that world, and closer to the truth of the undercover experience than any other law enforcement memoir has ever gone. 
   
  “What is it like to work undercover?” You’re a sheepdog in wolf’s clothing, running with the pack, and Madinger ran with the wolves for almost two decades. Now he shares his story to give you a unique look at American crime and the “War on Drugs” from the perspective of both cops and criminals. You’ll go with the undercover cops to meetings with street-corner hustlers and rip-off artists and into the lives of America’s biggest rock stars, the world’s richest man, an Academy Award–winning actor, the marijuana traffickers conspiring to assassinate a federal judge, and the President of the United States. It’s an amazing ride, and there has never been another story like it.

  Customers know Brown's Chicken for its crispy buttermilk fried chicken and flaky biscuits. The Illinois-based franchise has a reputation for delicious but simple comfort food. But through no fault of its own, the words "Brown's Chicken" are also synonymous with one fateful night in January of 1993."A Real Hometown" is the trite but apt motto of Palatine, Illinois, a quaint middle-class suburb west of Chicago. On a snowy Friday evening, the staff and owners of the city's local Brown's Chicken franchise were closing up when two final customers arrived just past 9pm. As the night drew on and the employees hadn't returned home, the families of the owners and workers began to worry, prompting police to investigate. When they entered the dark building, police were shocked to find seven bodies stacked in the restaurant's freezer and fridge. The killers, of course, were long gone. In the months that followed, the horrendous story rocked Chicagoland and the case remained unsolved for nine years.The Brown's Chicken massacre is one of the most infamous cases in Illinois history, yet it is often misremembered. In Something Big, Patrick Wohl gives a new account of the story, taking listeners behind the scenes and sharing the perspective of the people who lived it.

  Awesome! A memoir of a black man in a cultural journey from childhood to a successful career in the fire service. This “journey” is a powerful story of guts peppered with a dose of determination and is anything but an ordinary. Although wrought with both self-inflicted and societally applied barriers his career spanned 30 years. Thus he became the one of only three District chiefs (in the department’s 100+ year history.) He became the first black Chief of Rescue. He became the first black commander of the Hazardous Materials Team. the first black Assistant Fire Chief of ERD (this division was responsible for all firefighting, rescue, dive, and hazardous materials emergencies and constitutes the bulk of personnel employed by the fire department (approximately ¾ of the firefighters and paramedics employed). And all of this on a predominately white fire department. He held the position of Assistant Fire Chief until he retired.
