Summary
Twenty years undercover - one man's true story of life as an undercover cop. A must-listen for fans of Donnie Brasco.
For over 20 years, Joe Carter has worked for the police as an undercover cop. He travelled the globe on different passports. He fraternised with thieves and international drugs and arms dealers. He worked alongside the most dangerous criminals. Always fearing that this life would come crashing down around him at any point.
His story is a gripping account of the secret, solitary work of an undercover officer and the many sticky situations he found himself in as well as the moving confession of the difficulty in reconciling his two identities with his family life. It's a story of his beginnings, from being a young East End apprentice to the mean streets he walks today, and reveals the many highs and the painful lows of going undercover.
This audiobook explores the resilience needed to lead a double life, the thrilling challenge of working with the biggest criminals in Britain and how Carter maintains a sense of justice through the many adventures he encounters.

It Was Dull
Monotone narration, didn't have you gripped, it was ok but dull. Thankfully it was only 8 hours of listening.

Interesting Tales not well edited
I enjoyed the idea of what this hero had to say. I liked getting to know Joe and hearing about his encounters. Unfortunately, I felt it dragged in too many areas.

Interesting
Interesting to listen to, does make you realise how much a undercover officer does sacrifice in order pull off a fake persona all to make the eventual arrest. It’s just a shame the pen pushers and the powers that be, folk who have probably never even been in the police, cut the operations and discard these officers like litter, without taking into consideration how much effort they have put in!

Great listen
A great account from a level 1 undercover officer. The story flowed well and you begin to understand the complexities of living a lie for a good purpose. Well written and well narrated.
