Jeremy is the author of the top-10 best-selling non-fiction short story, “Glass Mountain,” and Send Me: Chronicles of an FBI Sniper. Both are available on Amazon.

The true crime book is a powerful narrative nonfiction retelling of 13 of the 200 high-risk missions that he and his teammates executed during his 21 years on the team.

“Of course, there’s a shooting investigation. We killed someone. It’s one of those situations where the greatest good most certainly was not to let him kill the agents or run off and make more bombs. It was probably the hardest psychological event I had been through in my life, and I think there was a lot of people afraid to say, ‘Hey, you did a good job.’ It feels a little bit like you’re guilty of something. I really struggled with that.”—Retired Agent Jeremy Rebmann
