It’s honestly just a bunch of stories from modern U.S. Federal Marshals.
It could have been relatively more informative.

I picked this up out of a genuine curiosity about the realities of the work that the U.S. Marshals do. I got a little bit of that, but I got more of a lot of deputies telling their personal case stories. There's nothing wrong with that. In fact, it was pretty interesting. But it also got somewhat repetitive after a while, despite the way the stories were being used to illustrate different facets of chasing fugitives (and make no mistake, that was the focus of the book), and because they were carefully chosen personal stories of crime fighting, they seemed very much designed and told to impress.

Not so much a history of the US Marshals Service as a collection of anecdotes about cases and captures by the Marshals that were interviewed. The stories seemed kinda short at times and just felt a bit lacking in places, but I guess you can only work with what information you're given as the author. All-in-all an interesting read.
