About The Author My name is Ernesto Lijoi, I write under the name Ernie Lijoi Sr., my site is http://www.erniesr.com I was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY on St. Marks Ave in 1943 of Italian decent. If I may I would like to tell you a brief story about how I recently became a writer, after retirement. I was a Police Patrolman for the Transit Authority back in the 1970’s in Boston, Massachusetts. After a specific arrest of a suspect for narcotics, I was asked to take a 30 day job as a Deep Cover Investigator for a larger City in Massachusetts. This job required a new identity, Eddie Pannoni. Because of the expertise that I acquired, I was still doing the same job under the guise of Eddie Pannoni 18 years later and had a very interesting and exciting career. In 1980 Sonny Grasso and Eddie Eagan came to see me (Known for the French Connection Movie and others). They wanted to do a book about my career. By that time I had the two contracts on my life. I refused the book because of the never ending work that I had to finish. Since my retirement people are always asking about my experiences throughout my career as a DCI. I have been told, many times, that I should write them down. At age 65, I decided to write the first book named “Street Business” with Mr. Larry Matthews. We were published a few months after it was written. I began another book and Larry suggested that I send it in without any help from him. I did and it was published. I now am 67 years old and have three books published named “Street Business”, “Shoveling the Tide” and “Chasing Snow”. I have four more books that I have not submitted for publication, “Destructive Obsession”, “Meth or Myth”, “The Cash Mule” and now “The Preyers”. We have completed a movie script from my writing and named it “Depraved Streets”. We have actors, directors and more. We project a 5-8 million budget. We need a producer and more. The books are based on fact although told in a fictional manner with everything, including locations which, in most cases are changed along with names and dates. You may read more about me at http://www.erniesr.com In the event that you would like to talk, I can be reached at 941-627-6613 or 941-830-0596. I am, now a Florida resident although this work took place in many states. I should mention that I worked with The FBI, ATF and DEA as a deep cover detective. I have enough material (newspaper clipping, reports, etc.) for at least a hundred or more books. I worked narcotics, murders, robberies and more. I was always on the inside of these jobs as a deep cover operative. PUBLISHING CREDITS: Can be found at my site with reviews news articles to back up my stories
