PIERRE RAUSINI—in the 1990's—was a twenty-something-year-old Los Angeles-based drug trafficker of ecstasy and ice. He and his associates drove luxury European supercars, lived in Beverly Hills' penthouses, and dated Playboy models while dodging federal indictments. Then, two FBI officers with the San Francisco Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force entered the picture. Dirty agents willing to fix cases and identify informants. Suddenly, two of Rausini's associates—confidential informants working with federal law enforcement—were murdered. Everyone pointed to Rausini. As his co-defendants prepared for trial, U.S. Attorney Robert Mueller sat down to debrief Rausini at Leavenworth Penitentiary, and another story emerged. A tale of FBI corruption and complicity in murder. You see, Pierre Rausini knew something that no one else knew . . . the truth. And Robert Mueller and the federal government have been covering it up to this very day. The Abridgment to DEVIL EXPOSED is supported by over 120 exhibits—nearly 750 pages of documentation conclusively proving Mueller’s extraordinary efforts to obstruct justice.MATTHEW B. COX is the author of Bent, Once a Gun Runner, and Generation Oxy. He is a graduate of the University of South Florida, he lives in Central Florida.

The unforgettable story of Florida teenagers turned oxycodone traffickers Generation Oxy is the story of a group of friends—clean cut, all-American high school kids—who stumbled into the Sunshine State’s murky underworld of illegal pill mills and corrupt doctors. This teenage criminal enterprise ultimately shipped hundreds of thousands of OxyContins and other prescription painkillers throughout the country, making millions in the process. This true crime memoir details the three-year-long rise and collapse of the Barabas Criminal Enterprise, an opiod-pill trafficking ring founded by Douglas Dodd and his best friend on the wrestling team, Lance Barabas. Raised by an alcoholic mother and surrounded by drug-abusing relatives, Dodd got involved in narcotics at an early age. Their scheme to sell the drugs he was already consuming coincided with the explosion of prescription addicts who were traveling the “Oxy Express” to Florida for easy access to the pills they dubbed “hillbilly heroin.” Soon they were shipping forty thousand pills a month, with tens of thousands of dollars returning in hollowed-out teddy bears. In Generation Oxy, Dodd recounts his time as a wannabe Scarface: bottle service at clubs, an arsenal of weapons that would make Dillinger blush, narrow escapes from the law, hordes of young women, and as many pills as he could swallow. And this was all before he was legally able to drink a beer, while still living with his grandmother. The good times came to an end when the DEA closed in and the twenty-year-old Dodd faced life in federal prison.
