Alex Caine

A look at the ongoing war between the Outlaws Motorcycle Club and the Hells Angels, a fight that has lasted for over sixty years and has taken place across much of North America, Europe and Australia.

The Outlaws, the Hells Angels and the Sixty Years War

Charlie and the Angels

A follow-up to Alex Caine's bestselling Befriend and Betray and the third in his trilogy about big biker gangs, Angel Dust focuses on the Hells Angels. The Angels have built an empire, starting from their days as saddle tramps riding Harleys to becoming multi-millionaires driving high-end SUVs. The organization has moved deeper and deeper into legitimate business, particularly in the entertainment industry, real estate, currency exchange, and online gambling and pornography. Though much has been previously written about the Hells Angels, no author to date has had Caine's combination of experience as an undercover agent and his extensive contacts within gangs and law enforcement. Caine delves into this meteoric ascent and the consequences it has had for the Angels as they transform themselves from outlaw bikers into a new mafia. Using his contacts in domestic and international police forces and Interpol, Caine exposes the inner workings of the club, shows what it's become, and what is on the gang's horizon.

How the Outlaw Biker Gang Became a Criminal Empire

Angel Dust

The Hells Angels. The Bandidos. Asian triads. Russian mobsters and corrupt cops. Even the KKK. Just part of a day's work for Alex Caine, an undercover agent who has seen it all. Alex Caine started life as a working-class boy from Quebec who always thought he'd end up in a blue-collar job. But after a tour in Vietnam and a stretch in prison on marijuana-possession charges, he fell into the cloak-and-dagger world of a contracted agent or kite: infiltrating criminal groups that cops across North America and around the globe were unable to penetrate themselves. Thanks to his quick-wittedness and his tough but unthreatening demeanour, Caine could fit into whatever unsavoury situation he found himself in. Over 25 years, his assignments ran the gamut from bad-ass bikers to triad toughs. When a job was over, he'd slip away to a new part of the continent or the world, where he would assume a new identity and then go back to work on another group of bad guys.Told with page-turning immediacy, Befriend and Betray gives a candid look behind the scenes at some familiar police operations and blows the lid off others that law enforcement would much prefer to keep hidden. And it offers an unvarnished account of the toll such a life takes, one that often left Caine to wonder who he really was, behind those decades of assumed identities. Or whether justice was ever truly served.

The Era of NFTs

From the #1 national bestselling author of Befriend and Betray, an intimate exposé of a criminal empire and the massacre that nearly started a global biker war. Having once infiltrated the Bandidos for three years in a landmark police operation, Alex Caine is uniquely positioned to reveal the untold story of the Hells Angels’ fiercest rivals. Grounded in the crucible of the little understood Shedden massacre of 2006 and one unlikely prospect’s descent into the biker lifestyle, The Fat Mexican exposes the violent criminal history of the Bandidos motorcycle club, the Hells Angels’ fiercest competition: their violent beginnings, the terror their aggressive expansion caused rivals and innocents alike, and the internal politics and rivalries that drive them to this day.

Ku Klux Klan, Hells Angels, Aziatische Triades, Russische maffia en corrupte politiedepartementen het hoort allemaal bij het dagelijkse werk van geheim agent Alex Caine. Na een gevangenisstraf wegens marihuanabezit, belandde Caine in de avontuurlijke wereld van de undercover agent. Dankzij zijn scherpzinnigheid en zijn harde, maar aimabele houding kon Caine zich aanpassen aan elke situatie. Vijfentwintig jaar lang infiltreerde hij in moordzuchtige organisaties. Na gedane zaken verdween hij naar een ander deel van de wereld, waar hij een nieuwe identiteit aannam en met een andere groep criminelen aan de slag ging. Vriend of vijand biedt een nietsverhullende blik op politieoperaties en brengt de waarheid aan het licht over andere acties die de autoriteiten liever verborgen zouden houden. Het is een onopgesmukt verslag van de tol die een undercover leven eist, een leven waarin Caine zich vaak afvroeg wie hij werkelijk was achter de talloze identiteiten die hij had aangenomen.
