In 1986 the Florida Keys were a battleground
in the Nation's "War on Drugs"
In an effort to combat the rampant smuggling taking place in South Florida at the time, the U.S. Customs Service hired a bunch of good men and women to be their soldiers in this “war.” Taxpayer funds were used to buy vessels, weapons, and aircraft. Kevin Power was fortunate to be hired, almost by accident, to become one of these men and women, tasked with protecting our nation’s borders.. This would become his dream job, filled with excitement, challenge, intrigue, danger, fear, and frustration.
Hired as a pawn on the Florida Keys chessboard, he would evolve over the next 30 years into a seasoned, experienced Senior Special Agent. He would travel far and wide and get involved in more than his fair share of crazy assignments. “I don’t know if I was blessed or cursed for some of the wild experiences that I had.” After retiring in 2016, he began writing some of the stories as a hobby/therapy. What he first thought might be one book grew and evolved over the years. Unable to find a literary agent or publisher, he decided to self publish, starting with the first book which covers his wild times in Key Largo.

Now introducing the next
exciting book in this series:
The CUSTOMS AGENT Book Series by Retired Special Agent KEVIN POWER
This is a series of non-fiction books that detail the real world experiences of a handful of Special Agents with the U.S. Customs Service. The author was one of these men and women, thrown into the fray. They are human beings who are very fallible as you will clearly see here. A few will fall victim to temptation and actually become bad guys themselves during the process. These are stories of just a few of our successes and many of our failures. Parts of the stories are told from the bad guy’s perspective as the game of cat and mouse unfolded every day. The stories presented here are not told as exaggerated fiction, or glamorized fantasy, rather as raw detailed factual accounts that prove that reality is often much stranger than fiction. You truly can’t make this stuff up…
