Bob Hamer is retired from the FBI, having spent 26 years as a “street agent.” He has worked organized crime, gangs, terrorism, and child exploitation. Although he prides himself on a career of successful undercover assignments, he has served as case agent or co-case agent on some of the most significant matters investigated by the Los Angeles office of the FBI: the LA Mafia Family case, the Eddie Nash case (of Laurel Canyon Murders, John Holmes, Boogie Nights, Wonderland fame), and the July 4th shooting at the EL AL ticket counter at LAX.

He has received numerous awards throughout his career including the coveted FBI Director’s Award for Distinguished Service, four United States Attorney Awards for Distinguished Service, and numerous letters of commendation including one from then US Attorney Rudy Giuliani.

In undercover assignments lasting anywhere from several days to more than three years, Bob has successfully posed as a drug dealer, contract killer, residential burglar, fence, pedophile, degenerate gambler, weapons dealer, and white-collar criminal.

He has worked undercover against such diverse groups as the La Cosa Nostra, Sicilian Mafia, Mexican Mafia, Russian Mafia, Asian organized crime groups, and Los Angeles based street gangs. His successful infiltration of NAMBLA (North American Man/Boy Love Association) resulted in the arrest of what one defendant called eight members of the “inner circle.”

Bob is a member of the WGA and has written for television. He has worked as the technical advisor for "The Inside and Angela’s Eyes" and has consulted for "Law & Order: SVU" and "Sleeper Cell." He also appeared as a guest on "Oprah." His first book, THE LAST UNDERCOVER: The True Story of an FBI Agent’s Dangerous Dance with Evil (Hachette Book Group, USA, Center Street Press) is now available.

A Marine Corps veteran, he is married and has two children.
