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.

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 but expected a few better stories
It was good narration , interesting and has enough content to keep you occupied but nothing really extraordinary happens to be honest .
I suppose that’s the real world isn’t it , you could join the army for 20 year and get stood on the gate at a barracks in catterick for 20 year. This guy was an under cover detective yea but don’t expect a hollywood to make a film about this

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