Book description
Sometimes, you make bad choices.
Sometimes, bad choices are made for you.
Ned "Crash" Aiken thought he had made a clean break. He had
turned on his biker brothers in the Sons of Satan and entered the
FBI's witness protection program, only to end up in a different kind
of prison, one of mediocre work and cheap apartments. He then fell in
with the Russian mob, learning their brutal code first-hand and
fleeing their organization when the stakes got too high. Between the
FBI, the Sons and the Russians, there are a lot of people who want to
get their hands on the innocent-looking ex-drug trafficker.
Now he's in Mexico, trying to go straight and stay alive. But Mexico
isn't like the United States. It isn't even like it used to be in its
heyday as a playground for wealthy gringos to vacation or college kids
to party on the cheap. Ned is no stranger to drugs, violence and
brutality, and what he sees in Mexico he can only try to ignore.
But even while Ned tries his best to mind his own business, he is
forced back into the underworld against his will. He finds himself at
the mercy of a cartel and its notorious leader, and now the game is
just about survival. But how can you play the game when there are no rules?
From the author of the best-selling Gangland, a searing read about
the Mexican cartels, Dead Biker is a disturbing story about
immense power and indiscriminate brutality, and lives held hostage in
more ways than one.
