NATIONAL INDIE EXCELLENCE AWARDS, FINALIST INDEPENDENT AUTHOR NETWORK BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARDS, FINALIST John Walker was a Miami undercover narcotics agent in the 1970s. Ten years later, he was in prison for smuggling 12,000 pounds of marijuana. In prison, he connected with a South American drug lord who was still running the family operation from inside the federal pen. Within months of being paroled, John began smuggling again—this time uncut Colombian cocaine. And this time, he put everything on the line: his freedom, his family and, ultimately, his life. Breaking Midnight shines a light on the gritty underbelly of Miami drug trafficking and the danger of leading a double life—as an undercover narc or a smuggler. Written by Lynn Walker, based on interviews with her father, John, this is an uncensored, up-close-and-personal account of how a good cop goes bad. "A simply fascinating, informative, and true account of how and why a law enforcement agent was seduced into a life of crime. Lynn Walker's biography of her father is a compelling read from first page to last." - The Midwest Book Review LYNN WALKER worked for several years with at-risk high school students whose parents were drug addicts and alcoholics.
