Treasury Agent
The Inside Story

Andrew Tully

Read an excerpt (opens in a new tab)

Move over, Hollywood. Several movies could be made out of this voluminous crime file about the work of the U.S.Treasury's law enforcement agencies. From the time when the customs service was established by Alexander Hamilton in 1789, moonshiners, bootleggers, drug dealers, diamond smugglers, counterfeiters, confidence men, kidnappers, and assassins all did their best to bamboozle, bemuse, and bushwhack law enforcement agents hoping they would give up or go bungling off in the wrong direction.

Be glad that Agent Mordecai Miller, a shady IRS agent, didn't show up in your living room. Or, that your parish priest was not Father Sophrony Balaban who kicked up his heals at your daughter's wedding and then snuck away to make hand-printed bills to finance a revolution in Yugoslavia. Yet,these crooks often underestimated the persistence and intelligence of committed Treasury agents who had long memories and stuck to the trail no matter what. With great tenacity and courage, and often following new leads years after crimes were committed, Treasury agents successfully collared and helped convict countless criminals.

Compiled by newspaperman and award winning author, Andrew Tully, Treasury Agent is a great read for anyone looking for an absorbing collection of true cops and robbers stories topped with a generous dollop of history and politics.
