The FBI and I

About the Book

In this compelling autobiography, Curtis O. Lynum narrates his twenty-six and one-half-year career in the FBI where he held almost every position then available to an agent. This story, of universal human interest, depicts the dedicated life of an FBI family and chronicles their varied experiences as they moved throughout the United States. Mr. Lynum and his family are truly a flexible group. The many thrilling cases in which Mr. Lynum was involved during the 1941-1967 period makes this autobiography read more like fiction than fact. But truth is often stranger than fiction, and truth it is. From stories of wartime espionage surveillance to the Las Vegas gangster years of the late forties, an era which culminated in the killing of Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel by his own people, to the Frank Sinatra, Jr. kidnapping, to Mr. Lynum's "shoot out" with Top Ten Fugitive "The King" Zavada, Mr. Lynum dramatizes the serious and sometimes dangerous nature of FBI work. Each scene grabs the reader and keeps him or her wondering ..."What next?".
