This memoir is the inside story of decorated Drug Enforcement Administration Special Agent Mike Fredericks. 
“Ground truth from the foggy, bloody, occasionally funny front lines. Busting Drug Dealers... is a full-immersion journey into shady places most of us don’t think we want to see, not in real life, not even on cable news."

Author of four books, including Desperados ​and Hunting LeRoux: The Inside Story of the DEA Takedown of a Criminal Genius and his Empire

Meet Mike Fredericks
"Mike Fredericks is the Real Deal."
-Bob Nieves
​DEA Chief of International Operations
Mike Fredericks worked as a sky marshal, US Customs Special Agent, and DEA Special Agent in overseas assignments in Colombia, Pakistan, the Caribbean, and South Asia, busting drug traffickers and enforcing US drug laws. After his retirement, and following the 9/11 terrorist attacks, he trained international airline pilots on counterterrorism and vital aviation security procedures.

During his time in Colombia as part of the DEA, Fredericks investigated the infamous Medellin cocaine cartel, pursuing notorious traffickers Pablo Escobar and Carlos Lehder, and raiding jungle cocaine laboratories with the Colombian National Police, and more. Later, his award-winning team gained recognition for record-breaking financial seizures while disrupting cocaine and heroin trafficking in the Caribbean.
