Short Synopsis
The incredible true story of one of the longest and most successful FBI investigations is told by one of the undercover informants—prosecutor Terrence Hake.

Full Synopsis
Operation Greylord was the longest and most successful undercover investigation in FBI history, and the largest corruption bust ever in the U.S. It resulted in bribery and tax charges against 103 judges, lawyers, and other court personnel, and, eventually, more than seventy indictments.

And it was led by Terrence Hake, a young assistant prosecutor in the Cook County State's Attorney's Office in Chicago, who worked undercover for nearly four years, accepting bribes, making payoffs, wearing a wire in bars and to racetracks, bugging a judge's chambers, and befriending people he knew he would betray.

"True crime narratives don't get much more suspenseful than Hake's account of his covert work to expose the endemic corruption in the Chicago court system." ---Publishers Weekly Starred Review

"[A] well-written and rare, inside look at how immorality prevailed for so long and the justice handed down to the key players." ---Library Journal
