Under and Alone by W Queen

In 1998, veteran law enforcement officer and lifelong motorcycle lover William Queen penetrated the San Fernando chapter of the notorious Mongols and kick-started the most extensive undercover operation inside a criminal motorcycle gang in American history. Queen was at the mercy of criminal psychopaths who sought to have him prove his fealty by any means necessary, from selling and doing drugs to arms trafficking, driving getaway cars and, in one shocking instance, stitching up the face of a Mongol 'ol' lady' after a brutal beating at the hands of her boyfriend. Yet, despite the constant criminality of the gang, Queen also came to see the genuine camaraderie they shared. When his lengthy undercover work totally isolated Queen from his relatives and friends, the Mongols felt like the only family he had left. "Under and Alone" is a breathless, adrenalin-charged read that puts you on the street with some of the most dangerous men in America.
"'This harrowing, turbocharged account of undercover life is reminiscent of Donnie Brasco.. the strength and white-hot intensity of the writing make this read like a movie, and Hollywood is certain to take note' - Publishers Weekly"
William Queen spent 20 years as a Special Agent with the US Department of the Treasury, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.
