En marzo de 1978, en la culminación de Operación Julie quince acusados, incluyendo doctores, químicos investigadores, un escritor y vendedores de drogas 'profesionales' fueron sentenciados a un total combinado de ciento veinticuatro años de prisión. La Operación Julie es, hasta el momento, el punto de referencia para todas las operaciones encubiertas y entrenamiento británico. En 2011, la BBC dijo que esta operación policíaca única y masiva fue el comienzo de la guerra a las drogas. Stephen Bentley fue uno de cuatro detectives encubiertos que trabajó en la Operación Julie, una de las redadas contra las drogas más grandes en el mundo. Junto con su compañero encubierto, infiltró a la banda que producía alrededor del 90 por ciento del LSD en el mundo y descubrió un complot para importar grandes cantidades de cocaína boliviana al Reino Unido. El bajo mundo conocía al autor como Steve Jackson. ¿Cómo logró infiltrar las dos pandillas con éxito? ¿Tuvo que tomar drogas, y de qué manera 'vivir una mentira' lo afectó? Descubra las respuestas y penetre en la mente de Steve Jackson, detective encubierto. 'Una perspectiva desde adentro sobre el tráfico de drogas, escrito con encanto, inteligencia y a veces humor, por un hombre talentoso, calificado de manera única para contar la historia.' -Extracto de una Revisión. 'No hay drama televisivo en donde los buenos tipos y los malos tipos se pueden identificar fácilmente y donde el crimen se resuelve en una hora de tiempo al aire. En la historia de la vida real de Operación Julie, las líneas que la definen no son tan claras y me encontré intriguido por la amistad que se desarrolló entre el Sr. Bentley y uno de los hombres que estaba investigando, preguntándome cómo resolvería esta difícil situación cuando el desenlace final llegara.' -- Extracto de una Revisión.
