In 2016, Wolf, an undercover agent, was enlisted by a former DEA agent and a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Officer to embark on his most audacious mission to date--to take down a top wildlife crime syndicate. The story of Moazu Kromah, East Africa's most wanted wildlife trafficker, is nowhere near as interesting as how he was taken out, and by whom.
