For self-made businessman Jim Steffman, life was better than he ever expected. Out of grit, a relentless work ethic and natural instinct for business, he built a small empire in rural Connecticut. Gas stations, a car wash, a storage unit facility, and a bar catapulted him from near-poverty to the "good life," with plenty of money and time to enjoy the fruit of his labor. Along the way, he aided friends and employees with generous loans and quick exits from dead-end jobs.
Soon after defying town officials, Jim encountered a businessman outside his usual circle. Rich, well-heeled and full of good-humored braggadocio, John Hurley was the personification of easy success, with all of its trappings. A former pilot, Hurley seemed to make his living as a buyer and seller of precious gems. A friendship developed, and Jim turned to Hurley when a biker gang threatened him and a crooked partner began to raid profits from his bar. From that point on, Jim learned that Hurley had persuasive powers of the upper echelon of a well known New England crime family, but an investigation into Hurley's record revealed nothing suspicious.
The equation changed when Hurley confessed to Jim he was a drug trafficker for Mafia clans and one of the FBI's ten most wanted fugitives. When he disappeared after telling Jim his unlikely but true story, the tables turned on Jim. Drug enforcement agents began to hound him for information on Hurley. Fearing that Hurley would have him killed if he aided the agents in their proposed sting, Jim refused to cooperate. A war followed that would nearly leave Jim dead, driven by a government agency operating outside the law. Lies, threats, seizure of properties, trumped-up charges, attempted murder and bureaucratic corruption, the likes of which Jim had never before encountered would eventually capsize his businesses and drive away friends and family. Jim would survive, but he would never be the same.

Shadow of Death edition by James Steffman Politics Social Sciences eBooks Reviews
Since I was married to Jim through all this time, you would think that I would have recieved a copy prior to publication. I have just bought one so I can read the acrucy from when I lived it. Janet Steffman
This is a heart-wrenching story of one man's journey through the hell of being wrongfully targeted by the DEA in their desire to take down a leading figure in organized crime. I couldn't put it down, it's really suspenseful and you get caught up in the author's journey and his vulnerability. Ultimately, that's what endears you to the story, Jim's courage, frustration and open heart on full display through his agonizing journey. It's a story of great perseverance and character, as you get inside the head of a man who just wants to live a normal life. I highly recommend it.
This book is compelling and well written. Reading it was like listening to the author tell you a story that seemed perfectly real and true while it describes an extraordinary series of events.
