Summary

Four lives…

Two people…

One question…

What do you really know about the people around you? 

To the residents of leafy Acacia Avenue, Mr. and Mrs. Smith were like any other couple. Living a very ordinary life, in a very ordinary suburb, on the outskirts of a very ordinary city. 

But behind closed doors, Mr. and Mrs. Smith were at the heart of a world filled with deception and organized crime—and they were the good guys

Inspired by true events and detailing Mr. and Mrs. Smith’s covert deployments, this is first in a series of gripping tales. 

Undercover Legends is a fascinating insight into the double lives of two undercover officers. First as individuals and then as a couple, they had to balance the stresses and strains of their real lives, families, and relationships, with the murky underworld they found themselves enmeshed in. 

In many ways, their legends, those false identities and lives that inhabited the criminal world, were no less real than the lives they were born into. That was a must as their lives may have depended on the robustness of their cover. Four lives…two people.

One question…will you join them on their extraordinary story?

Wow

Oh my goodness I was so gripped by this audiobook even though it's not my normal genre. I can't believe that this is all based on real life experience, I chose the wrong career path

Life Undercover and Uncovered

This is the fascinating world of being a British undercover police officer. Well told are the lives of Mr and Mrs Smith, although the story starts before their marriage. How do you balance a high stress, high risk, clandestine job with a normal, routine, private life, this book explains wonderfully. We're taken through several real operations to experience for ourselves the tension and drama. Well written, a gripping, edge of the seat read.
