Bestselling author Charlie Spillers, the former Justice Attaché for Iraq, federal prosecutor, state law enforcement commander, undercover agent, and ex-Marine, is the author of "Confessions of An Undercover Agent" and "Whirlwind: A Frank Marsh Novel." "Confessions" describes his harrowing experiences during 10 years of undercover crime fighting and narrow escapes. Playing different roles and adopting multiple identities, he infiltrated burglary and safe-cracking rings, drug trafficking groups, Dixie Mafia auto-theft rings, Mafia and Mexican-linked drug smuggling operations, and fought police corruption. In his last undercover role as a wealthy businessman connected with organized crime, international smugglers delivered 3,000 pounds of marijuana to him in Houston, Texas. Mr. Spillers capped off a unique career by becoming a career federal prosecutor. As a Department of Justice attorney, he volunteered and served three tours in Iraq. First as an attorney-adviser to the Iraqi court that tried Saddam Hussein and other regime leaders. He then served as the U.S Department of Justice Attaché for Iraq. His work related to Iraq was recognized by the FBI Director, the U.S. Deputy Attorney General, the Italian Embassy, the British Ambassador and Britain’s Minister of State for the Armed Forces. Amazon announced that Confessions was a #1 New Release nationwide in law enforcement memoirs. The Mississippi Institute of Arts and Letters nominated Confessions for Best Nonfiction, bookstores chose it as one of the best books of the year, and for month after month, and year after year, it was one of the top 10 bestselling books in the state. "Charlie Spillers is a natural-born storyteller with one hell of a story to tell. This is the real lowdown on southern crime from a man who saw it from the inside. After reading the book, I don't know if Spillers was brave or just plain crazy. But I loved it. A great read." Ace Atkins, New York Times bestselling author of The Forsaken and The Redeemers “Well-written and fast-paced, . . .Spillers tells his exciting story with style, grace, wit, introspection, and compassion. While the book details the often ruthless criminals and the crimes that Spillers encountered, he neither panders to his readers, nor glamorizes the criminal life. . . . The book will appeal to a wide audience, especially those who like true crime stories . . . .” MS Library Association review.
