IN DEATH'S SHADOW
“On the tip of an informant, the deputy rounded a corner at a New York boarding house looking for a fugitive and was met by the barrel of .38 gun. The deputy’s partner dove for the gun, pushing it away from the deputy’s face and tackled the fugitive to the ground. The deputy would survive Death’s Shadow once more as they once again hauled another dangerous fugitive back into federal court.”
ABOUT THE BOOK
Coming September at the U.S. Marshals Service Association Conference, Fort Smith, Arkansas.
Follow the author on a roller-coaster ride story of the life of Retired Deputy U.S. Marshal Robert Leschorn who served a distinguished 28-year career leading the largest and most dangerous Fugitive Operations in American History. You’ll read about his frequent encounters with some of the most notorious organized crime (La Cosa Nostra) figures in American History. Take a deep dive into how the deputy tracked down the worst of the worst felons and how he posed as a Mafia hit man in a “controlled breakout” of a con artist from Rikers Island (New York’s largest jail) who would admit to the diabolical scheme of attempting to have two federal agents murdered and how the deputy nearly escaped Death’s Shadow in the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center.
In Death's Shadow will be released at the U.S. Marshals Museum in Fort Smith, Arkansas in September. Be sure to check back here for any updates regarding the release.
