FBI Case File Review

Listen in on their conversations and experience what it’s like to hunt down a serial killer or terrorist, catch a spy during an espionage case, comb through a file cabinet of incriminating documents in a corruption investigation, or sit on a wire and conduct a physical surveillance to gather evidence of drug trafficking or organized crime.

001: Interview with Retired Agent Tom Cotton Jan 22, 2016

Show notes

Welcome to the first episode of FBI Retired Case File Review with Jerri Williams. I'd like to take a moment to introduce myself. I'm a retired agent writing crime fiction inspired by actual FBI investigations. My debut novel, Pay to Play, about a female FBI agent investigating corruption in the Philadelphia strip club industry, will be published later this year. FBI Retired Case File Review will feature interviews with retired FBI agents discussing their careers and their most intriguing cases. In this episode, I interview Tom Cotton who retired from the FBI more than 20 years ago. He talks about being assigned to six different offices and working a variety of cases involving Soviet spies, bank robbers, mob guys, and corrupt politicians. I'll also discuss crime fiction and dramas - books, movies and TV shows - especially those depicting the FBI. Photos and links to news articles about the topics and cases discussed during each episode of FBI Retired Case File Review can always be found at www.jerriwilliams.com under the Podcast tab.
