Welcome to episode 143 of FBI Retired Case File Review with Jerry Williams. I'm a retired agent writing crime fiction inspired by

true crime FBI cases. Today we get to speak to once again retired agent Mike McGowan who served with the FBI for more than 30

years. Most of his career was spent in the Philadelphia and Boston divisions.

In this episode, Mike reviews his memoir, Ghost, my 30 years as an FBI undercover agent that

recaps his long career working under cover against some of the most dangerous,

sophisticated and notorious criminal organizations and

Mike participated in excess of 50 FBI undercover operations

successfully infiltrating Italian, Italian,

L.C.N, and Russian organized crime groups,

Mexican drug cartels, outlaw motorcycle gangs,

contract murderers, and corrupt public officials all resulting in significant

arrest, seizures, and lengthy incarcerations.

He was an instructor at the FBI Undercover Certification School in Quantico, Virginia, and

also served as an operational counselor for the FBI's undercover Saf unit, evaluating undercover FBI personnel for operational and psychological readiness.

After retiring from the FBI, Mike started the 7329 group, a law enforcement undercover training and entertainment consulting firm.

His book, Ghost, has been optioned for development as a feature film by

Sylvester Stallone's production company. This, of course, is the second time I've interview Mike in episode 136 where he

discussed being falsely accused of stealing more than $200 million worth of heroin and cocaine was so well received that I knew I had

to get him back right away.

I know you're going to enjoy this interview as much as you did the first one. But before we get to the

interview please give me just a moment to wish those who celebrate

Thanksgiving a very very happy Thanksgiving.
