More Praise for NO ANGEL “If you want to understand the harrowing emotional realities of long-term undercover work, the balls-out courage and insanity of a multi-year infiltration, or just plain read a great story with an original American voice, then buy this book, read it, and wonder at every page if you'd have the stuff to pull it off yourself.” —STEVE GAGHAN, director of Syriana and screenwriter for Traffic “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, coauthor of Angels of Death: Inside the Bikers’ Global Criminal Empire “Ask yourself this question: Would you put your life on the line for a cause? Jay Dobyns did. This book lets you experience some of the most dangerous activities of the best- known biker gang in the world. Jay Dobyns brought honor to the ATF and is a true American hero.” —T. J. LEYDEN, author of Skinhead Confessions For Mom, Dad, Gwen, Dale, and Jack—you are my heroes. And for Jaime, without whom this book would not have been possible.
