Tail of the Coin is a compelling blend of history, memoir, and investigative nonfiction that shines a light on one of the least-discussed legacies of U.S.
intelligence work. By pulling back the curtain on the ultra-secret collaboration
between CIA covert warriors and the DEA inside Florida, you’re capturing not
just a story of clandestine operations, but also the human costs, the sacrifices,
and the ‘ghosts’ of staged deaths who carried on in shadows.
This book stands apart because of its rare perspective:
It’s not abstract theory or conspiracy; it’s based on 50 years of research and firsthand connections, grounded in lived Florida history.
It situates Florida not just as a paradise, but as a geopolitical crossroads where covert U.S. operations shaped global politics.
It ties personal tribute with investigative grit, acknowledging the unnamed heroes while exposing the moral and strategic ambiguities of intelligence work.
