FBI Code Name: SHARKS, Fighting Washington Corruption, is a fast-paced action-filled expose of the FBI's relentless battle against felonious lobbyists and law-breaking politicians. It features young Special Agent Del Dickerson, known for unpredictable exploits, unfathomable luck, and erratic romantic entanglements. He accidentally penetrates a multi-million dollar commodities conspiracy, and unwittingly finds himself involved with the seductive young Amerasian consort of a major conspirator, Chairman of a powerful United States Senate committee. Simmering in the background is Del's troubled romance with a beauteous FBI radio operator.Aiding in the high-powered investigation is a colorful cast of characters, particularly new Special Agent Lola Stanley, a statuesque former Radio City Music Hall Rockette, who goes undercover as an Atlantic City chorus girl to target a sleazy lobbyist. Her clever deflections of the rapacious man's dishonorable intentions provide laughs and applause as she demonstrates the skills and resourcefulness of the Bureau's prized female agents.Imaginative FBI investigative techniques lead to an explosive climax at sea aboard a luxury yacht, with a spine-tingling raid from helicopters by the FBI's vaunted Hostage Rescue Team.Complex schemes, shadowy intrigue, and sudden death define this gripping adventure, with humor and realism flavoring a stimulating glimpse of what occurs behind the scenes in the real-life FBI.

Autor

Jim Healy is a 32-year FBI veteran who writes with verve and humor about his career of chasing spies and fugitives. Assigned from coast to coast, he pursued underground Communist spies in California, then directed the famed Ten Most Wanted Fugitives Program from J. Edgar Hoover's headquarters in Washington, D.C. In addition to placing numerous murderers, kidnappers, and bank robbers on the "Top Ten" list, he takes credit, as a believer in gender equality, in adding the first woman to the list. Returning to field operations, he led the search for five desperate escapees from the "escape proof" Federal Penitentiary in Marion, Illinois, built as a replacement for Alcatraz. Following retirement as Special Agent in Charge of the Norfolk, Virginia, office, he returned to Washington for ten years, serving as Vice President of an international security firm. Subsequently settling in Virginia Beach, he became active in writing groups, Lions Club activities, and church ministries. A native of Detroit, he served two years in the U.S. Navy, earned a Journalism degree from Michigan State University, and attended the University of Detroit Law School while working as midnight-shift clerk in the Detroit FBI office for three years. The proud father of six, he resides on the Chesapeake Bay in Virginia Beach.
