Editorial Reviews

Review

“A page-turner that reads more like spy fiction than an exposé.”
—IronWorks magazine “An outstanding read. . . . I could not put it down.”
—Mark Bennett, United States District Court Judge, Northern District of Iowa “Fascinating, fast-paced . . . hypnotic. . . . The author’s command of detail and characters captures the reader’s imagination and mystifies.”
—Ruth Stevenson, Professor of English, Union College

From the Back Cover
As seen on America’s Most Wanted and Anderson Cooper 360°  “We can’t be infiltrated, no cops can get inside on us, they don’t have the resources, the manpower, or the time to wait. We’re unbeatable and untouchable.”
—Sonny Barger
 From Running with the Devil
 
It wasn’t uncommon for outlaw biker gang members to put out contract hits on federal prosecutors and agents alike, eliminate material witnesses, and murder informants before trials. Much like a terrorist organization, the gangs ruled by fear, orchestrating a network of criminal masterminds whose mission it was to disrupt and chill investigators into club objectives. They were organized killers. . . . He motioned to the others to stop talking. Their faces froze in panic.
Something had gone terribly wrong. Bird reached for the phone, his nerves
shattered, his fingers thick and awkward on the keypad as he dialed Beef.
A thousand scenarios raced through his mind. “What’s happened?” Bird’s voice was tight, urgent. “Get out,” Beef ordered. “What’s going on?” Bird pressed. “Don’t ask questions, just get out now!” Beef yelled.  “They’re coming over to kill you.”

Wait for SA Dobyns' Book3
SA Jay Dobyns, the lead ATF agent in this investigation, has written a book on it which is out in FEB 2009. That, no doubt, will provide the best insight on what went down.

This book was an opportunistic effort by the author, who had bystander access to some but not all of the information (which is why it reads like a high school senior's final paper) and spun what she had into this three-star ho-hum.

"Into the Abyss" is far better - and Dobyns' book will seal the deal.

A Good View of the ATF's Obsession with the Hells Angels3
This book details the ATF's extensive attempt to infiltrate the Hells Angels. The operation put the undercover agents through hell and produced nothing. The agents discovered that the Hells Angels displayed far more loyalty and genuine caring for them than their supervisors did. The operation was poorly run and poorly planned. Millions of dollars of taxpayer's money spent with no results. This book does provide a limited "insider's" view of the Hells Angels, but provides a better illustration of federal law enforcement's paranoia and obsession with biker clubs.

Garbage1
This book is absolute GARBAGE. A middle schooler could write a better book. I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone. I want my money back
