But a long time before Joaquin "Jack" Garcia found himself putting on a line with a few of the Mafia's top capos, he was one of the FBI's unlikeliest recruits.

Jack's stature soon proved a secured asset as the FBI appeared to place realtors undercover with medicine smugglers, counterfeiters, and even killers. Jack became mostly of the FBI realtors dedicated exclusively to undercover work.
Using a series of carefully created aliases, Jack insinuated himself in the legal world, from the Badlands of Philadelphia, where he was a gregarious money launderer, to the roadways of Miami, where an undercover Garcia transferred stolen and illicit goods and helped bring down dirty cops. Jack jumped at the chance to infiltrate the shadowy world of La Cosa Nostra, but how would the Cuban-American convince wiseguys that he was one of their own, a Sicilian capable of "earning his button" -- getting manufactured in the Mafia?

And it wasn't a long time before the newly minted Jack Falcone found himself under the wing of one of the Gambinos' old school capos, Greg DePalma.
