Items related to Money Men
Charles Carr is a relentless, hardboiled Treasury Agent with a grim mission. A young agent gets violently gunned down during an undercover operation, and it's Carr's job to hunt down the counterfeiter who pulled the trigger. From the seamy sunset Strip to Chinatown's shadowy underworld, from a daring plot to steal counterfeit money from counterfeiters themselves, to facing brutal blood-drenched confrontations, Carr will stop at nothing to crack the depraved scheme that took his friend's life. In 1992, "Money Men" was released as the United Artists motion picture "Boiling Point," starring Wesley Snipes, Dennis Hopper and Lolita Davidovich.

About the Author:
Gerald Petievich has made a career in criminal investigation. He served first as a Special Agent in the U.S. Army Intelligence Corps, and, as a Special Agent of the U.S. Secret Service of the Treasury Department, he spent some time in the Paris office where he worked with Interpol, chasing counterfeiters of U.S. currency all over Europe, Africa and the Middle East.
Review:
He comes from a family of cops - his father and brother are both officers in the Los Angeles Police Department, and he has been working as Secret Service Representative to the Los Angeles Federal Strike Force Against Organised Crime and Racketeering.
Gerald Petievich is as intensely committed to his job - and as free from illusions about it - as is his protagonist, Charles Carr.
The authors' experiences intensify the reality of his numerous, and critically aclaimed works. His best selling novel, "To Live and Die in L.A.," was made into a major motion picture. Some of his other titles are "To Die in Beverly Hills," "Paramour," "Earth Angels," "Money Men," "Shakedown," and "The Quality of the Informant."
