Im reading this book right now ''No Angel''
''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.”
