Klappentext zu „No Angel “
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.

Rezension zu „No Angel “
'No Angel pushes narrative non-fiction 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
