Kerry Linfoot Author

Lou Valoze is a former undercover federal agent with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), where he spent over twenty years infiltrating violent criminal organizations. Known for pioneering long-term undercover storefront operations, Valoze posed as a black-market arms dealer to dismantle some of the most dangerous gangs and gun traffickers in the country. His work led to hundreds of convictions and earned him national recognition for both bravery and innovation in law enforcement. He is the only agent in history to purchase more than one thousand crime guns in an undercover capacity. After retiring, Valoze began speaking publicly about the psychological toll of undercover work and the blurred lines between duty and identity. He is the author of Storefront Sting, a raw, unflinching memoir that offers an inside look at the risks, moral conflicts, and adrenaline-charged reality of life deep undercover. He is a graduate of Lafayette College in Easton, Pennsylvania.
