FBI Code Name: Sharks (Fighting Washington Corruption) (Volume 3)

Jim Healy is a 32-year FBI veteran who writes with verve and humor about his career of chasing spies and fugitives. Assigned from coast to coast, he pursued underground Communist spies in California, then directed the famed Ten Most Wanted Fugitives Program from J. Edgar Hoover’s headquarters in Washington, D.C. In addition to placing numerous murderers, kidnappers, and bank robbers on the ＂Top Ten＂ list, he takes credit, as a believer in gender equality, in adding the first woman to the list. Returning to field operations, he led the search for five desperate escapees from the ＂escape proof＂ Federal Penitentiary in Marion, Illinois, built as a replacement for Alcatraz. Following retirement as Special Agent in Charge of the Norfolk, Virginia, office, he returned to Washington for ten years, serving as Vice President of an international security firm. Subsequently settling in Virginia Beach, he became active in writing groups, Lions Club activities, and church ministries. A native of Detroit, he served two years in the U.S. Navy, earned a Journalism degree from Michigan State University, and attended the University of Detroit Law School while working as midnight-shift clerk in the Detroit FBI office for three years. The proud father of six, he resides on the Chesapeake Bay in Virginia Beach.
