IN AMERICAN GANGSTER, THE FEDS TOOK DOWN INFAMOUS HEROIN DEALER FRANK LUCAS. BUT THE KINGPIN BEHIND LUCASâ€™S CRIMINAL REIGN, LEROY â€œNICKYâ€ BARNES, REMAINED â€œMR. UNTOUCHABLE.â€ UNTIL ONE UNDERCOVER AGENT PROVED TOUGH ENOUGHâ€”OR CRAZY ENOUGHâ€”TO INFILTRATE HIS DOMAIN AND NAIL THE MOST DANGEROUS DRUG CZAR IN AMERICAN HISTORY.

Growing up in Red Hook, Brooklyn, where physical violence was a daily reality at home, at school, and on the streets, Louis Diaz had what it took to surviveâ€”and to one day become what he vowed to be: a man of uncompromising principles who is â€œcompassionate on the inside, fierce on the outside.â€ These were the qualities, along with his street fighterâ€™s steely nerves and hair-trigger temper, that drove Diaz from his savage beginnings and early forays in organized crime to become one of the DEAâ€™s bravest undercover agentsâ€”the man who was instrumental in takÂing down some of the nationâ€™s and the worldâ€™s most notorious crime rings.

In an unforgettable and utterly engaging first-person narrative, Diaz tells his gritty, colorful, painful, and even humorous life storyâ€”a story with all the raw emotional power and bare-knuckle action of Wiseguy or Serpico. From his headline-making cases of Nicky Barnes and the MedellÃn cartel . . . to his account of outwitting a key villain linked to the record-breaking heist known as The Great English Train Robbery . . . to his all-out confrontations with murderous gunrunners and drug dealers on the mean streets of New York . . . to leading commando raids on clan-destine cocaine labs inside the Bolivian jungles, Dancing with the Devil is an explosive memoir that stands as a classic of true-crime literature.
