description: As gritty and authentic as Joseph Wambaugh, Paul Lindsay is destined to become America's next bestselling police novelist. As a still-active FBI agent, Lindsay takes readers where they've never been before - into the secret worlds of crime fighting, mean streets, and hardboiled attitude. Witness to the Truth opens with a rush of excitement: A G-man nabs a fully armed and dangerous drug dealer single-handedly. Does he get a promotion? No, but an angry reprimand for neglecting "official procedures." That's the way it is in today's FBI, where keeping America safe takes a back seat to brownnosing and backbiting - except for men like Special Agent Mike Devlin. A shrewd, tough veteran of Detroit's war zone, Devlin plays to win - and he plays by his own rules. Which is why he is now assigned to the FBI equivalent of Siberia - midnight wiretap duty. Yet when Devlin gets wind of a Mafia spy inside his Detroit bureau, he springs into action, secretly recruiting a "dirty dozen" squad of FBI renegades to discover the leak while also solving a monstrous kidnapping of a terrified young woman. A novel that only an FBI agent could have written, Witness to the Truth is searing, authentic, and stingingly funny. In its commentary on the Bureau's foibles, Witness to the Truth introduces the saltiest and most winning hero of the year, and a major new novelist, Paul Lindsay.
