Reviews
This is the best expose of life as a British Undercover ever written. Joe Carter is a 'friend of ours'. Joe Pistone AKA Donnie Brasco, FBI's most famous UC. Undercover plays out like the best type of British crime novel and it's easy to believe that these are made up characters in a make believe plot - not because it doesn't seem plausible, but because it moves with the speed and excitement of a piece of fiction... I breezed through Undercover in a single day, it was that gripping. Culture Fly
