Old library sale purchase which has been gathering dust in a box at the bottom of a closet for far too long. Fly away, dear book, thou art free!
From Publishers Weekly
During his 11 years with the U.S. Marshals Service, Pascucci was responsible for tracking down two wanted war criminals: Ukrainian Bohdan Koziy, called the Child Killer, whom he found in Costa Rica, and Latvian Konrads Kalejs, who probably caused more than 10,000 deaths, whom he arrested in Florida. Another of his pursuits resulted in an additional 25-year sentence for escaped California spy Christopher Boyce, whom he tracked all over the American West: "[He] was a wimpy-ass, scrawny punk." Writing with Stauth (The Golden Boys), Pascucci also traces the development of the USMS in the 1980s, claiming that the Justice Department in the later Reagan ("President Rambo") years winked at all manner of civil rights violations. Pascucci's government career ended in 1989, when he was found guilty of threatening the ex-boyfriend of his ex-girlfriend and spent time in prison. With much macho posturing, he recalls what to him were his glory days, "the life-or-death action" that will likely strike readers as overbearing. He is now a consultant to private investigation firms.

I can't wait to read this book. I'd never heard of anything like this but think the idea is AWESOME! I'll probably stay up all night to send it out to be released into southeast NM with my house guests who are leaving via air tomorrow.
Found it at the Zoo. Never heard of this before, but thought I'd take a look. May, or may not read it. Not my type of book really. I brought it with me to Las Cruces, NM. Will definitely leave it somewhere to be found when I'm done with it.

I found this book in my grandpa's room in Washington State. Apparently, my brother dropped it there, and we picked it up, and brought it back to Cruces. I will probably try to drop it off in my travels somewhere, or send it to one of my friends off in another state. Not sure I'll read, but I'll certainly take a look.
