Murder for Hire by Jack Ballentine

Jack Ballentine became a Phoenix Police Officer and quickly rose to the top as one of the nation's most successful undercover operatives. His specialty: posing as a hitman. Ballentine led a schizophrenic life, changing assumed identities at the drop of a hat as he developed a network in the criminal underworld and was 'hired' to kill business partners, spouses, and in one case a son. In twenty-six cases, he produced a 100 per cent conviction rate on murder conspiracy charges. All the while, the author balanced his rough-and-tumble career with a new wife and stepson. Ballentine's story is a unique look at how law enforcement delves into the heart of the criminal world.

In 1978, Jack Ballentine joined the Phoenix Police Department and quickly ascended through the ranks to become one of the world's most accomplished undercover operators. He also worked for the Phoenix Police Department as a homicide detective. He has been named Police Officer of the Year three times and has received the International Investigator of the Year award as well as the Medal of Merit. He currently works for the Phoenix Fire Department as the Director of Investigations. He and his wife live in Mesa, Arizona.
