January 10, 2025 | Florida — Paul Manning, a former undercover officer with a storied career infiltrating organized crime, has released his debut book, Ten Seventy Eight, now available on Amazon and 10seventy8.com. This gripping memoir pulls back the curtain on life undercover, exposing the challenges, triumphs, and ethical dilemmas faced while navigating the shadowy world of the mafia.
Ten Seventy Eight derives its title from the urgent assistance call sign used in North American policing, symbolizing the high-stakes situations Manning encountered during his law enforcement career. From posing as a homeless man to driving luxury sports cars as part of elaborate stings, Manning’s tales are as fascinating as they are harrowing.
“This book isn’t just about crime; it’s about humanity, resilience, and the ethical boundaries we navigate in pursuit of justice,” Manning shares. “I wrote it to give readers a front-row seat to the complexities of undercover work—the danger, the deception, and the toll it takes.”
Manning’s journey spans decades, with roots in England before moving to North America, where he became known as "The Englishman" in covert operations. His experiences offer not only thrilling anecdotes but also thoughtful commentary on modern policing and the human condition.
Early readers have hailed Ten Seventy Eight as a must-read for fans of true crime and law enforcement memoirs. "Paul Manning's storytelling is raw, authentic, and utterly captivating," says one reviewer.
Ten Seventy Eight is available from January 14th, 2025 on Amazon and from 10seventy8.com.
