Undercover Junkie: Chasing Highs, Confronting Killers, and Unraveling in the Chaos

IN THE UNDERBELLY OF KANSAS CITY'S MOST LETHAL STREETS, ONE COP DESCENDS INTO A NIGHTMARE OF ADDICTION, BETRAYAL, AND LOST IDENTITY IN PURSUIT OF JUSTICE. Detective Brent Cartwright seemed to have it all-a loving family, a promising police career, and a future full of possibilities. But the grind of everyday police work left him craving more-a deeper rush, bigger challenges, and higher stakes. His solution? Join the elite undercover unit, where he could chase the city's most dangerous criminals. But what started as a mission to do "real police work" transformed into a spiraling journey that would cost him everything. Undercover Junkie is a raw, gut-wrenching plunge into the harrowing world of undercover policing where the boundaries between law and lawlessness blur. As Brent disappeared deeper into his alter ego-a street-hardened addict named Ricky-he became intoxicated by the chaos and the high of living on the razor's edge. Through high-stakes gun deals, drug operations, and the constant threat of being exposed, Brent's descent into darkness is as gripping as it is devastating. More than a memoir, Undercover Junkie is an unflinching account that challenges the culture of silence that claims far too many of those who answer the call to serve, laying bare how a toxic environment can exact a toll on even the bravest among us. As Brent's story proves, without the proper safeguards, our heroes must sometimes sacrifice their own humanity in the name of duty-and the cost can be unimaginable.
