Making Jack Falcone

An Undercover FBI Agent Takes Down a Mafia Family
Book • 2008
This book chronicles the extraordinary true story of Joaquin 'Jack' Garcia, an undercover FBI agent who spent two and a half years infiltrating the Gambino crime family.

Garcia, a Cuban-born American, used a series of carefully created aliases to insinuate himself into the criminal world, from money laundering in Philadelphia to moving stolen goods in Miami.

The FBI created a special 'mob school' to teach him how to act like a wiseguy, which helped him gain the trust of Greg DePalma, a capo in the Gambino family.

The book details Garcia's experiences and the significant impact his work had on the organized crime family, resulting in the arrest of 32 members of three crime families.
