Mistaken identity / by Sherer, Michael W.,author.;
"Jenny Roberts grew up in a house full of men, all involved in law enforcement. So, she knew the odds were stacked against her when she chose to become a cop, from the moment she joined the army to her service as an MP in Iraq and her career as an FBI agent. She's overcome every obstacle placed in her path. But now her future is full of uncertainty and she's full of doubt. A member of an elite counterterrorist "fly team" that thwarted a terrorist plot on the nation's capital, she finds herself on administrative leave for an "agent-involved shooting" to save her partner from being killed by the terrorist behind the attack. But it's not a routine investigation. Her partner, the fly team leader, threw her under the bus when the bureau sanctioned the team for "unapproved methods." At loose ends, she takes a train to the small Wisconsin town where she grew up, despite the fact that she hasn't seen her family for more than a decade. Soon after boarding, a case of mistaken identity puts Jenny on the run with a sadistic killer on her trail. Cut off from the bureau and its resources, Jenny sets out on her own to warn her doppelganger. As soon as she finds the woman, events spiral out of control, and the pair becomes the target of a deadly cross-country chase to Jenny's home town. There, they and Jenny's family make a last-ditch stand against all the forces arrayed against them. But Jenny alone must face the family tragedies that have shaped her--as well as the ruthless killer at the heart of it all" --Amazon.

Surveillance in America : critical analysis of the FBI, 1920 to the present / by Greenberg, Ivan,1962-;
Includes bibliographical references (p. 349-365) and index."Surveillance in America provides a historical exploration of FBI surveillance practices and policies since 1920 based on recently declassified FBI files. Using the new information available through these documents, Ivan Greenberg sheds light on the activities and beliefs of top FBI officials as they develop and implement surveillance practices. Paying particular attention to the use of the media, Greenberg provides a thorough reconsideration of the Watergate scandal and the role of W. Mark Felt as 'Deep Throat.' He also exposes new evidence that suggests Felt led a faction at the FBI that worked together to bring down President Nixon. The book concludes with an in-depth treatment of surveillance practices since the year 2000. Greenberg considers the question of 'surveillance as harassment' and looks at the further erosion of privacy stemming from Obama's counterterror policies, which extend those of the Bush administration's second term. The startling increase in surveillance since the events of September 11 reveals the extent to which America is losing the battle for civil liberties"--Back cover.

In Los Angeles, Detective Garrett Dobbs and FBI Agent Jessica Gimble have joined forces to work a murder that seems like a dead cinch. Their chief suspect is quickly identified and apprehended, but then there's another killing just like the one they've been investigating. And another. And not just in Los Angeles, the spree spreads across the country. The Fitzgerald family comes to the investigators' attention, but Dobbs and Gimble are at a loss, if one of the four is involved, which Fitzgerald might it be?
