Nick Mangieri, Valor Press, LTD., is the author of three non-fiction books:

"Broken Badge: The Silencing of a Federal Agent" is a hard-hitting expose' of his four-year stint as a Special Agent with the Fraud Division of the OIG in the US Department of Labor investigating corruption in Washington, D.C. It is an unflinching story of obstruction of justice, blatant cover-ups by his superiors and psychological retaliation for doing his job.

"Frozen Shield: Alaska Cover-Ups" is a prequel to "Broken Badge" and describes in harrowing detail the cover-ups by city and state officials of his investigations into massive land fraud while he was Chief of Police in a small town outside of Anchorage. In this case, retaliation took the form of violence and threats on his life, to stop him from uncovering the truth.

"Passport To Danger: The Diary of an Adventurer" is a prequel to the first two books and is a true-to-life adventure of the young author while he diamond prospects in the Amazon, hunts jaguars in the jungle, lives among indigenous Indian tribes and cut-throat prospectors and eventually climbs an 18,700 foot peak in Mexico totally unprepared for the assault and its consequences.

Nick Mangieri, successful self-published author is a real-life "Indiana Jones", a clone of club-wielding Sheriff Buford Puser and another corruption-busting Frank Serpico.
