Add to basketPaperback. "Fort Apache" is structured in a way that intersperses McMahon's personal reflections and professional experiences with the broader narrative of Miami's crime scene and notorious American criminals. This duality effectively sets the stage for understanding the chaotic environment that fostered the likes of Ben Kramer-a figure within the drug smuggling and powerboat racing communities. McMahon's narrative is both engaging and informative, filled with historical context that enriches the reader's understanding of the events and characters involved. Events that were relayed to the public in news media and Hollywood movies are seen through the lens of a hardworking federal probation officer and investigator, giving the reader an inside view of the American Justice System and true crime history. George Gergis: National Director of the National Association of Legal Investigators Investigators are not born. They evolve. They all start somewhere different but end up in this incredible profession that helps people, solves problems and saves lives. Rory McMahon's new book, FORT APACHE tells the story of one man's journey to that goal. From New York's probation department to Florida's organized crime ridden streets, this is a tale of perseverance and guile. It is a testimony to his dedication, resolve and determination that brought him to that end. In spite of having to work with notorious criminals and against corrupt systems, McMahon has forged ahead to become a well-reputed and celebrated professional. I am proud to call him a colleague. Kitty Hailey, CLI It is a difficult task to venture into the world of Private Investigations when you have worked for many years in law enforcement. Rory McMahon, a former Federal Probation Officer knows that the facts are all that matter, no matter which team you choose. In my almost 40 years as a PI, I have worked alongside many investigators.those wearing white hats and some, not. Rory is one of the good guys I have known and worked with for well over twenty years. Rory's hat has always been white, never blemished. When he says it happened, it did and that's that. In his book, Fort Apache, Rory takes the reader with him as he doggedly pursues his "offenders" and then transitions into a career as a Private Investigator and educator. The book is a fascinating read authored by nothing less than a remarkable investigator.Diane L. Cowan, CLI, CCDI In Fort Apache, Rory McMahon takes the reader on a ride deep into the dark heart of the Sunshine State. A private detective and former federal probation officer, McMahon was in the room with notorious smugglers like Barry Seal and Ben Kramer (whose Miami powerboat company lends this book its title). Even more compelling are some of the lesser-known but equally mind-blowing cases like that of Hilmer Sandini, the homicidal federal informant who commandeered one of the most corrupt FBI operations in American history. McMahon seems drawn to the gray area between the bad guys and the good -- but it's never in doubt that the author himself is one of the latter.
