Life in the Fishbowl: The harrowing true story of an undercover cop who took down 51 of the nation's most notorious Crips and his cultural a - Paperback

This is no typical undercover story. This is a human story. Whom will you root for?
Undercover Tegan Broadwater was a 35-year-old, blonde-headed cop with the balls to infiltrate a tight-knit Crip organization and salvage the innocent people in a neighborhood deemed "The Fishbowl" - as there was only one way in and one way out.

Survival in this world meant creating the illusion of a multi-million-dollar empire using the meager budget of a struggling municipal narc department. It meant going out on his own, completely off the books, into one of the most violent and dangerous neighborhoods in America.

Success depended on sheer wit, mental toughness, and balls the size of Texas. But most of all, it required patience. When millions of dollars in cash change hands daily, trust takes a long time. In deep undercover work, everything lives in the gray, and seemingly nothing is tied up with a nice bow.

In the end, friends are discovered to be enemies, and enemies are sometimes the only hope for survival. When you go undercover on real missions as deep as these, dying becomes menial. The real fear is losing who you are and everything you hold dear. It's coming home to loved ones searching desperately for the husband, father, and son they once knew. And ultimately, what you find is more than your true self - empathy and friendship.

This is the realism "Life in the Fishbowl" swims in. It is the story of one of the bravest undercover cops of our generation and the people he grew to love.
