The true story of super-criminal Jon Roberts, star of the documentary Cocaine Cowboys. American Desperado is Roberts’ no-holds-barred account of being born into Mafia royalty, witnessing his first murder at the age of seven, becoming a hunter-assassin in Vietnam, returning to New York to become--at age 22--one of the city’s leading nightclub impresarios, then journeying to Miami where in a few short years he would rise to become the Medellin Cartel’s most effective smuggler. But that’s just half the tale. The roster of Roberts’ friends and acquaintances reads like a Who’s Who of the latter half of the 20th century and includes everyone from Jimi Hendrix, Richard Pryor, and O.J. Simpson to Carlo Gambino, Meyer Lansky, and Manuel Noriega. Nothing if not colorful, Roberts surrounded himself with beautiful women, drove his souped-up street car at a top speed of 180 miles per hour, shared his bed with a 200-pound cougar, and employed a 6”6” professional wrestler called “The Thing” as his bodyguard. Ultimately, Roberts became so powerful that he attracted the attention of the Republican Party’s leadership, was wooed by them, and even was co-opted by the CIA for which he carried out its secret agenda. Scrupulously documented and relentlessly propulsive, this collaboration between a bloodhound journalist and one of the most audacious criminals ever is like no other crime book you’ve ever read.
Even after WWI had ended, the region of Arizona, New Mexico, and West Texas stubbornly refused to be tamed. It was still a place where frontier gunfights still broke out at an alarming rate. Utilizing official records, newspaper accounts, and oral histories, Cowboys and Gangsters tells the story of the untamed “Wild West” of the Prohibition-era of the 1920s and early 1930s and introduces a rogues’ gallery of sixgun-packing western gunfighters and lawmen. Told through the lens of the accounts of a handful of Texas Rangers and Federal Agents, this book covers a unique and action-packed era in American history. It’s a story that connects the horse and saddle days of the Old West, with the high-octane decade of the Roaring Twenties.
When four people turn up dead at the bottom of a Florida sinkhole, New York DEA Agent Fred Boff has no idea it will launch him into a tangled web of illicit operations spanning from Florida to Texas. The victims had stumbled onto a clandestine marijuana delivery, and with the help of Panama City jailbird Ronnie Ray, Boff connects the dots in a complex trail of smugglers, planes, boats, and drug dealers to wealthy businessman Rex Cauble, a man beloved by law enforcement and a pillar of the community. Boff and his colorful team of agents become determined to stop the flow of drug money and marijuana from one of the biggest drug operations in U.S. history and to bring down Cauble's sprawling drug ring run by kingpins known as the "Cowboy Mafia". But as evidence piles up, questions emerge. Is the folksy millionaire truly the criminal mastermind he seems? In the end, it's up to Boff and his team to determine if they're implicating an innocent, prominent businessman or skillfully unveiling the secret leader of the largest drug trafficking operation in 1970s America. This true crime thriller offers readers an exclusive glimpse inside the world of elite drug runners and the gritty work of dedicated DEA agents. With captivating real-life characters, high-stakes action, and shocking twists, it's an adrenaline-fueled roller coaster exposing the dark underbelly hiding beneath wealth and power.
Catching the Katy By: Barker Milford In the late 1970s, the King died, Freebird fell, Disco ruled and… Texas, per capita, had more illegal weed than any territory in the free world. All due to the infamous Cowboy Mafia operating from a seafood storefront in High Island, Texas. To record, it was the largest smuggling ring on the United States mainland. Over 200 tons of Marijuana and other drugs were transported via four different vessels: The Agnes Pauline, Monkey, Jubilee and Bayou Blues from Columbia, Panama, Costa Rica and other Central American locations to be distributed over the highways and byways of Texas through multiple states and even other countries. The main players were horse trainers from Dallas and Fort Worth and a Texas billionaire who owned a famous cutting horse named Cutter Bill.

THIS BOOK IS PART TWO OF THE PRESIDENT STREET BOY GROWING UP MAFIA IT HAS THE CRAZY STUFF WE LEFT OUT OF BOOK ONE AND THEN CONTINUES FROM WHERE WE LEFT OFF
It seems as if drug abuse has always been with us. Today, marijuana is readily available and seems to be a part of our culture. Until the late 1970´s, marijuana seizures of a car's trunk capacity seemed to be common place for law enforcement. Overnight, drug enforcement was turned upside down, ton quantities of South American marijuana entered the U. S. by sea vessels disrupting financial institutions with the huge amount of proceeds involved. Unprepared and under funded law enforcement, was unable to meet the challenge of big time smuggling and distribution. Finally, realizing the problem, law enforcement assaulted the violators with weapons such as the Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), Continuing Criminal Enterprise (CCE) and Conspiracy laws. This coupled with the stepped up efforts of the U. S. Coast Guard and Customs patrolling Florida's coast line pushed large marijuana cartels west. The Conspiracy Revealed follows the efforts of a small U. S. Attorney's Office in Beaumont, Texas and the efforts of law enforcement in Texas to help meet part of the challenge presented by the enforcement effort in Florida. That is, meeting the challenge of a multi-million dollar drug cartel that would later be labeled the "Cowboy Mafia" by the media. Years later, as a retired DEA Agent, I wrote my account of the investigation which I named Good Old Boys and Grass. It was during the copyright of my manuscript, as if by Divine intervention, that a book was published. The author stated that he had been a friend and employee of one of the people investigated and convicted in the conspiracy. His allegation was that the Government was only out to get his millionaire friend. Along with the book, the author placed a copyright and commercialized the name "Cowboy Mafia." A following book tried to represent the Government's investigation but lacked the insight necessary. My view of writing about the incident changed from simply entertainment to reporting a conspiracy. This is in respect to a three-year long investigation that included over thirty-five defendants, 100 tons of marijuana charged, official corruption prosecuted, deaths during the investigation and over eighteen million dollars in fines and forfeitures. It seems only appropriate that this presentation should be made. The result is the Conspiracy Revealed.
