Betrayed: The Shocking Story of Two Undercover Cops

 

What is it really like to live as an undercover cop? Joe and Jessie joined the New South Police believing they could make a difference, but their whole lives became a lie. They were cops pretending to be criminals, targeting drug dealers, criminal gangs, and, worst of all, crooked police. Surviving on deceit and gut instinct, Joe and Jessie lived in a world of drugs, violence. and corruption. To all but their parents they were exactly what they seemed—a drug-dealing junkie and his girlfriend. When they could no longer endure the pressure, the danger, and the terrible isolation they quickly discovered just how alone they really were. More than a riveting true story of loyalty abused and courage betrayed, this is a searing expoé of a police system out of control, and of senior officers who, by putting secrecy above all else, destroyed the careers and nearly the lives of two honest cops.
