Enjoy watching television shows and movies about the FBI like Quantico, The Americans, The Informant, or Wolf of Wall Street? Ever wonder how accurately the bureau is portrayed? You can find out in Jerri Williams new book, FBI Myths and Misconceptions: A Manual for Armchair Detectives.

Jerri is a retired FBI agent who spent 26 years with the bureau primarily focusing on financial crime and corruption in the Philadelphia area. She is now the host of the podcast FBI Retired Case File Review, where she interviews other retired agents about their most interesting cases. Some are high profile cases you think you know and others you’ll probably hear about for the first time.
