Book Description

December 22, 2009
Pam Phree is a feisty female bail bond agent, one of the first in a male-dominated field. Mike Beakley is a quick-witted bounty hunter. In this compelling book, this unlikely pair pools their talents to take on prostitution, drug dealers, organized crime, and murder while fighting to make changes and dispelling the myths about the bail bond and bounty hunting industries. Betrayal, Murder, and Greed takes readers along for the ride with Phree and Beakley as they investigate such notorious cases as the "Robin Hood" murders, in which a fugitive uses the legendary hero as a cover for horrific killings. This eye-opening, firsthand expose by two courageous figures reveals the inner workings of the criminal underworld, the bail bond industry, bounty hunting, and the complex and surprising relationships between them.

5.0 out of 5 stars LOVED IT!!, February 6, 2010

This review is from: Betrayal, Murder, and Greed: The True Story of a Bounty Hunter and a Bail Bond Agent (Hardcover)
I thought Mr.Beakley (Darkside) book brought a real human feel to the plight of the bail bonds trade. As a private citizen I never really had an insight to the bail bond world. I appreciate the bounty hunter for returning those who should be back to court and jail ...furthering the safety of us the public. So thanks for doing your job Darkside. To top it off taking the time to write an entertaining book of how this system works!! Good to see that one can retain humor pursuing those who are looking not to get caught!!

5.0 out of 5 stars An intriguing look into the bail bond and bounty hunting industries, highly recommended, February 15, 2010
This review is from: Betrayal, Murder, and Greed: The True Story of a Bounty Hunter and a Bail Bond Agent (Hardcover)
The life of a bounty hunter isn't as simple as television would lead you to believe. "Betrayal, Murder, and Greed: The True Story of a Bounty Hunter and a Bail Bond Agent" tells the tale of Pam Phree, a woman who has entered the bail bond industry and has vowed to turn the typically shady industry into a more respectable when her peers often exploit it out of greed. It is also the story of Mike Beakley, a former cop who has taken to become a licensed bounty hunter. These two tell the story of trying to keep their moral ground when their competitors really burn the line between the law and crime. "Betrayal, Murder, and Greed" is an intriguing look into the bail bond and bounty hunting industries, highly recommended.

This review is from: Betrayal, Murder, and Greed: The True Story of a Bounty Hunter and a Bail Bond Agent (Hardcover)
This is an "on the edge of your seat, can't put it down" book. An faced paced, amazing, thrilling and at times, horrific ride into the behind the scenes life of a bounty hunter and bail bond agent that most citizens have no clue of, like me! It's educating, terrifying, horrific and at times enlightening. The range of emotions felt while reading were unbelievable!

I am axiously awaiting the movie, it's THAT GOOD!
