No Angel Zusammenfassung

No Angel: My Undercover Journey to the Dark Heart of the Hells Angels Jay Dobyns

In 2001 Jay Dobyns infiltrated a Hells Angels chapter operating in Arizona, in a highly secretive ATF investigation code named Operation Black Biscuit. The aim was simple: to examine the criminal underbelly of the world's most famous biker group, and bring a major case against them. The reality, however, was much more complicated. In the twenty-one months that he spent inside the club, Dobyns became seduced by the outlaw lifestyle: seduced by the physical menace that comes with wearing the patch; seduced by riding his Harley down the highway at 100 miles an hour, eight bikes to a column, one bike's wheels 18 inches from the next; and seduced by the intense bonds he forms within the club, where friends lay down their lives for each other. No Angel is a thrilling, adrenaline-fuelled ride of a book, which lifts the lid on the world's most infamous underworlds.

No Angel Bewertungen

No Angel pushes narrative nonfiction to new limits . . . If you wondered whether the bravura writing of Truman Capote and Hunter S. Thompson has a legacy, look no further. Dobyns leads us into the wacky, white world of the Hell's Angels, and with empathy and precision forces us to admit that bikers are all-too human. * * Sudhir Venkatesh, author of GANG LEADER FOR A DAY * *
Compulsively page-turning... A high-velocity trip into a frightening American underworld told in rapid-fire, hard-boiled prose. * * Evan Wright, author of the national bestseller GENERATION KILL * *
A wild ride to the dark side. Jay Dobyns roars through the gritty underworld of organized crime that you never see in TV cop shows or read in the newspaper. He reveals the true, violent face of outlaw bikers - but also the tortured souls of the undercover cops who dare to infiltrate them. * * Julian Sher, co-author ANGELS OF DEATH: INSIDE THE BIKERS' GLOBAL CRIME EMPIRE * *
NO ANGEL is an absolutely amazing account of one man's willingness to go above and beyond... This book provides a rare opportunity to share in the intensity, feel the adrenaline rush, smell the fear, and admire true courage and dedication. * * Michael Durant, author of the New York Times bestseller IN THE COMPANY OF HEROES * *
Dobyns recounts with ruthless honesty how near he came to being transformed from upstanding citizen into a mean, lean, pill-popping killing machine. -- Tina Jackson * * Metro * *
