Sons of Anarchy meets The Departed in this fast-paced, high-wire act memoir from former ATF agent Ken Croke, the first federal agent in history to go undercover and successfully infiltrate the infamous—and infamously violent—Pagan Motorcycle Club, a white supremacist biker gang.
Longtime ATF agent Ken Croke had earned the right to coast to the end of a storied career, having routinely gone undercover to apprehend white supremacists, gun runners, and gang members. But after a chance encounter with an associate of the Pagan Motorcycle Gang created an opening, he transformed himself into “Slam,” a monstrous, axe-handle wielding enforcer whose duty was to protect the leadership “mother club” at all costs. He befriended the club’s most violent and criminally insane members and lived among them for two years, covertly building a case that would eventually take down the top members of the gang in a massive federal prosecution, even as he risked his marriage, his sanity, and his life. With today’s law enforcement largely moving toward the comparative safety of cyber operations, it became one of the last of its kind, a masterclass in old school tactics that marked Croke as a dying breed of undercover agent and became legendary in law enforcement.
Now for the first time, Croke tells the story of his terrifying undercover life in the Pagans—the unspeakable violence, extremism, drugs, and disgusting rituals. Written with bestselling crime writer Dave Wedge and utilizing the exclusive cooperation of those who lived the case with him, as well as thousands of pages of court files and hours of surveillance tapes and photos, Croke delivers a frightening, nail-biting account of the secretive and brutal biker underworld.

Oplæseren lød alt for følsom. I hvert fald kan en hardcore agent ikke have klaret sig ret længe hvis han var så pjevset i fritiden.

Jeg bryder mig ikke om personer som ham, da jeg selv har kørt i en klub, det var en sindssyg historie, men jeg VED at han lyver så bukserne de flyver, glem det, aldrig nogensinde ville han kunne komme af sted med at blæse kokainen væk, uden nogensinde at sniffe det, jeg holdt altid nøje øje med dem der tog det, for en sikkerheds skyld, men det kan man overhovedet ikke bruge det noget, de agenter er Nød til at tag stoffer, og smadre folk, og han elskede det, og hans status, de agenter som skriver disse bøger, er så fulde af løgn, at det halve kan være nok, de er nød til at være som os, ellers bliver du smidt hurtigt ud, og det er ikke altid lige sjovt. Jeg må derimod indrømme at jeg syntes det var godt at han fik mange af disse personer væk fra gaden, for de lyder som nogle rigtig fucking røvhuller, og møg svin, aldrig i mit liv, ville jeg gå ind i sådan en fucked op klub, fy for helvede, du aner ikke om din kvinde bliver voldtaget af 20 medlemmer, eller dø som Prospect, slap da helt af
