COVERT: MY YEARS INFILTRATING THE MOB
Book ID/图书代码： 13186016B89260
English Summary/英文概要： Covert is the true-life thriller about Bob Delaney, former elite NBA referee and the league’s current Vice President Referee Operations. The book follows Delaney’s early life as a young New Jersey State Trooper, when he was sent undercover in a perilous FBI/New Jersey State Police sting operation in 1975 aimed at infiltrating the Genovese Family and ending its control of the New Jersey waterfront. Soon after joining the New Jersey State Police, Delaney was offered a tantalizing undercover assignment: to infiltrate the Mob. And so he became Bobby Covert, the president of Alamo Trucking, a fullyoperational business created by law enforcement to lure Mafioso. While wearing a wire, Delaney dealt daily with mobsters who modeled themselves after their onscreen counterparts in the box office hit, The Godfather, and even crossed paths with Joe Pistone, the real-life Donnie Brasco. After three tense years playing a role in which a single slip could have cost him his life, Delaney had gathered enough evidence to help convict more than 30 members of the Genovese and Bruno crime families in the landmark investigation dubbed Project Alpha. Struggling with Post-Traumatic Stress from the strain of his undercover life, Delaney began officiating high school and intramural basketball games as a way to rebuild his life, eventually working his way up to the NBA as one of the league’s best officials for a quarter century. This is his amazing true story.
