Booktalk: Former FBI Agent Scott Payne’s “Code Name Pale Horse: How I Went Undercover to Expose America’s Nazis”

Host Diana Korte speaks with former FBI Agent Scott Payne, author of the memoir, “CODENAME: PALE HORSE: How I Went Undercover to Expose America’s Nazis.”

A decorated agent dubbed the “Hillbilly Donnie Brascoe,” Payne takes readers along with him on some of the most terrifying and riskiest assignments in FBI history. His book begins in 2019 on a hot summer’s day in Georgia where he joins The Base, one of the fastest-rising, most radical white supremacist groups operating in the US.

Payne spent 28 years in law enforcement investigating cases against drug trafficking organizations, human traffickers, outlaw motorcycle clubs, gangs, public corruption, and domestic terrorists. He was also a SWAT team operator and instructor for firearms, tactics, and undercover operations.
