Follow the author on a roller-coaster ride story of the life of Retired Deputy U.S. Marshal Robert Leschorn who served a distinguished 28-year career leading the largest and most dangerous Fugitive Operations in American History. You’ll read about his frequent encounters with some of the most notorious organized crime (La Cosa Nostra) figures in American History. Take a deep dive into how the deputy tracked down the worst of the worst felons and how he posed as a Mafia hit man in a 'controlled breakout' of a con artist from Rikers Island (New York’s largest jail) who would admit to the diabolical scheme of attempting to have two federal agents murdered and how the deputy nearly escaped Death’s Shadow in the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center. In Death's Shadow was released at the United States Marshals Museum in Fort Smith, Arkansas in September 2023.
This book should be an exciting, intriguing depiction of the events regarding the life of one of our courageous and great American heroes, who was almost killed about ten or more times during his dynamic career! Bob Leschorn is a man of honor, and I cannot wait to read his book!
Gripping and a fast read…love the wonderful photos…well done!
