TRUE CRIME

March 9, 2006, it's hours before one of the largest motorcycle gang busts in history. George Rowe has spent the past three years as an informant, working undercover with the Vagos, one of the most dangerous biker gangs in the country. His fiancee, a struggling heroin addict carrying their unborn child, is asleep next to him. She's got no idea who he really is, what he's done, or what's about to happen. Rowe wonders how did it go so far? A gritty and harrowing memoir about human redemption and self-sacrifice, Rowe tells the story of the first private citizen to voluntarily infiltrate an outlaw motorcycle gang for the US government. George Rowe, drug dealer, barroom brawler, and convicted felon, never thought he'd work for the feds. But when he watched the Vagos brutally and senselessly beat his friend everything changed. He decided to pay back his Southern California hometown by bringing down the gang that terrorised it. Rowe spent three brutal years juggling a double life - riding, fighting, and nearly dying alongside the brothers that he secretly hoped to put away for good. The road to redemption wasn't an easy ride.
Rowe lost everything: his family, his business, his home - even his identity. To this day, under protection by the US government, Rowe still looks over his shoulder, keeping watch for the brothers he put behind bars. They've vowed to search for him until the day they die.
