Book description
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.
After a tour in Vietnam and a stretch in prison on
marijuana-possession charges, Caine fell into the cloak-and-dagger
world of a contracted agent. Thanks to his quick-wittedness and tough
but unthreatening demeanour, Caine could fit into whatever unsavoury
situation he found himself. Over 25 years, his assignments ran the
gamut from mean bikers to triad toughs. When a job was over, he'd slip
away to a new part of the continent or world, where he would assume a
new identity and then go back to work on another group of bad guys.
Befriend and Betray offers an unflinching look at some
familiar police operations and blows the lid off others that law
enforcement would much prefer to keep hidden. It provides an
unvarnished account of the toll such a life takes, one that often left
Caine to wonder who he really was behind the myriad identities he had
assumed and whether justice was ever truly served.
Alex Caine now acts as an adviser on biker investigations and speaks
frequently at police conferences. He is a certified fifth-degree black
belt martial artist, recognised by the World Kickboxing Association.
