About this title: 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.

"Queen's life in the Mongol Biker gang highlights the ruthlessness and capriciousness of the biker ethos but only skims the surface of his intense inner turmoil at leading two lives - both of which leave him unhappy and unfulfilled."
"I read this out of a recommendation...and it was pretty good!
Of course you know he lives to 'tell the tale', but all through the book, you just think, "This is it...this is when his cover is blown, and he's toast."
I felt bad for him, getting to know the bikers, knowing they are criminals who beat their women, neglect their kids, etc. But starting to know them as people, and caring for them knowing he'll be responsible for them going to jail. Wow. The pressure!!!"
"I enjoyed this book, but not quite as much as Dobyns No Angel I don't know if it's because I read Dobyns book first or what; I can't quite put my finger on it. It was still a very good story, and Queen's undercover work paid a lot more dividends than Dobyns in terms of convictions and the number of bad guys that went to prison. This story was similar to Dobyns story in the way that they both started sympathizing with their suspects, and really started feeling like family with them. I thought it was interesting that Queen's Mongel friends, known as the most violent biker gang in America, offered condolences and comforted Queen when his Mother passed away, while his ATF buddies didn't say a word. I can see how you would form a bond with guys and that would make it hard to do what you ultimately are there to do. In the end however, Queen stood by his morals and ethics and completed the job he set out to do. I have nothing but respect for a guy like that. It's one thing to be an outlaw biker, but to be a fed and become an outlaw biker, all the while knowing that if the bikers find out you are a dead man, thats badass."
"Well written account of an ATF agent infiltrating the Mongols motorcycle gang and his 2.5 years undercover with the gang. You really feel how an undercover agent can become torn, in one respect he is doing a job, in another respect he becomes friends with all these guys, plus some heart-rending scenes where the author becomes detached from his family with unintended consequences. Recommended"
