Book Synopsis

The Last Cowboy is the true story of an undercover agent with unconventional methods who became one of the most highly decorated agents in the history of the US Drug Enforcement Administration. At the heart of this story are the remarkable actions of the last of an aging breed of hard-charging, rough-riding agents who risked it all to protect the innocent, from his raucous beginnings as a street cop in Texas to $85 million undercover deals with the most deadly of all Mexican drug traffickers. The Last Cowboy culminates in the hunt for the terror cell that killed five Afghan CIA counterparts. Disobeying a direct order, the agent tackled a suicide bomber on the streets of Kabul, saving the lives of countless American soldiers and crushing the suicide bomber terror cell in the aftermath. This is the true, hard-hitting story of the last "cowboy" to serve with DEA.

Review Quotes

"A truly humble, un-glittered, sometimes taut and yet sometimes hilarious accounting of the law enforcement career of one of the DEA's most highly-decorated American heroes. The Last Cowboy is also a boots-on-the-ground cross section of recent history, chronicling over 30 years of major threats to our country and criminal trends affecting directly and indirectly the lives of the American public. For a man who has spent most of his life vanquishing some of humankind's most dodgy individuals, Tim Sellers has, by some miracle, emerged not only alive and well, but with his humanity and humor firmly intact. That fact jumps off the page with every phrase depicting each real-life event we are privy to and privileged to get a glimpse of."
