About this listen
Craig Glazer was an ordinary college student when he planned and successfully executed his first fake sting to get back at some drug dealers who had robbed him. The rush he got from the experience led him and a crew of 11 accomplices to mastermind a two-year, 33-sting spree that stretched coast to coast, posing as everything from local police to IRS agents and hotel managers.
Glazer and Donald Woodbeck, his partner in crime, sniffed out some of the most sought-after drug lords in the country for the FBI and DEA like bloodhounds. For a while, the plan worked—until Craig’s world came crashing down.

Editor reviews
After college student Craig Glazer was ripped off while trying to buy marijuana, he decided to plan and execute a fake sting to get back at the drug dealers who had robbed him. He walked away with $50,000 and, more importantly, a rush so intense that he embarked on a two-year spree of stings, aided by a crew of accomplices. Robin Bloodworth's confident, rough-around-the-edges voice believably conveys Glazer's addiction to the adrenaline rush of the outlaw lifestyle in this amazing true story. Scenes of violence and suspense unfurl through Bloodworth's intense peformance, and listeners will be on the edge of their seats as Glazer attempts the ultimate sting in Los Angeles, consequences be damned.

Interesting but loses its way
I enjoyed the story of Glazers exploits in his criminal younger days and time as a special agent. Around the middle of the book the story lost its way a little and became more about the trials and tribulations of getting a film commissioned in Hollywood. For several chapters I was yearning for a return to something pacey and exciting but found a lot of time taken detailing meetings with producers and mundane job descriptions. I feel that more could be made of the early day exploits and less of the massive and lengthy description of the rather boring side of Hollywood. Overall, strong start, decent finish, a bit lost in the middle.
