Riding with Evil

Více o knize

In this gripping memoir, former ATF agent Ken Croke recounts his extraordinary experience as the first federal agent to successfully infiltrate the notorious Pagan Motorcycle Club, a violent white supremacist biker gang. With a distinguished career in undercover operations targeting white supremacists and gang members, Croke seized a unique opportunity after encountering a Pagan associate. He transformed into “Slam,” a fearsome enforcer dedicated to protecting the gang's leadership. Over two years, he befriended the club’s most dangerous members, all while covertly building a case that would lead to a major federal prosecution against the gang’s top figures. This high-stakes operation came at a personal cost, jeopardizing his marriage, mental health, and life. As law enforcement increasingly shifts towards cyber operations, Croke’s mission stands out as a masterclass in traditional undercover tactics, marking him as a rare breed in the field. For the first time, he shares the harrowing details of his undercover life within the Pagans, exposing the violence, extremism, and disturbing rituals he witnessed. Co-authored with bestselling crime writer Dave Wedge and supported by extensive court documents and surveillance materials, Croke provides a chilling, nail-biting glimpse into the brutal biker underworld.
