About the author
Steven R. Peterson is best known as a former U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration special agent whose long career in law enforcement shaped his writing. Public author and publisher bios describe him as having spent nearly three decades with the DEA, later working with DHS, and going on to serve as an investigative consultant and media commentator.
His book The Batman of DEA, coauthored with Carina Monica Montoya, draws on that background and presents crime-fighting stories rooted in real operational experience. Training and event biographies also describe him as a longtime instructor in areas such as undercover operations, informant management, and drug trafficking investigations.
Reliable biographical information beyond his law-enforcement career is fairly limited in the sources I could confirm, so this overview focuses on the details that appear consistently across publisher and professional training pages.
