Bob Hamer has worked for the FBI for 26 years as an undercover operative posing as everything from a drug dealer to an aging pedophile. His last undercover assignment - and his hardest - was infiltrating NAMBLA, the North American Man/Boy Love Association. Now he looks back on a career rich in the kind of action that makes for great cinema, telling of the challenges to his most basic assumptions about himself, how he stared the dark side of humanity in the face - and never blinked. In a job which can blacken a man's soul, he remained true to his faith and always put his family before his work. We will learn why perfection in his commitment to his undercover roles was crucial for survival. We will learn why, despite his ability to remain calm and composed in the most dangerous situations imaginable, he had to reach for his deepest reserves of self-control and discipline while running the NAMBLA investigation. He descended into a shadowy world most of us have only glimpsed in novels or movies. Now, in his own words, Bob Hamer tells us how, for over 25 years he ran the gauntlet and successfully concluded his LAST UNDERCOVER.
