520 "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."--Provided by
