Synopsis
Billy Queen, an agent of the ATF, went undercover for 28 months as a member of the Mongols Motorcycle Club, a brutal biker gang that ran guns and drugs. This gritty, chilling memoir recounts how the Mongols gradually accepted Queen as one of their own. Although he attempted to prevent various crimes, the need to maintain his cover (and preserve his own life) forced him to stand by as the Mongols committed murder, assault, and rape. Despite their heinous activities, Queen developed real friendships with his fellow gang members, even as he plotted to betray them. Black-and-white photos.

Industry Reviews
"A dark and twisted world, fully realized. Don't be surprised if it runs to bestsellerdom." (starred review)
Kirkus (01/15/2005)
"This harrowing, turbocharged account of undercover life is reminiscent of Joseph D. Pistone's DONNIE BRASCO....The strength and white-hot intensity of the writing make this read like a movie, and Hollywood is certain to take note." (starred review)
Publishers Weekly (03/21/2005)
"It rips along like a Harley on the 405 at midnight."
