A True Crime Investigation of Mike DeBardeleben, Secret Service Counterfeiting, and Serial Kidnapping

In 1983, U.S. Secret Service agents arresting James Robert "Mike" DeBardeleben for high-grade currency counterfeiting searched his vehicle and storage lockers. Instead of just financial equipment, agents discovered an extensive archive of audio recordings, photographs, and journals documenting serial abductions, sexual assaults, and homicides across multiple states.

Investigative author Stephen G. Michaud details the joint task force operation by the Secret Service and FBI that linked DeBardeleben to cold cases nationwide. The book follows the forensic voice identification, document analysis, and federal trial where DeBardeleben represented himself.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Stephen G. Michaud delivers a fast-paced investigation into one of the most unusual federal law enforcement cases in U.S. history. Rich in Secret Service and FBI tradecraft, this book is essential reading for fans of John Douglas, Roy Hazelwood, and Robert Graysmith.
