The gripping account from an ex-con who went undercover to help
the ATF infiltrate three of America's most violent biker
gangs
Despite lacking any experience with motorcycle gangs, Charles Falco
infiltrated three of America's deadliest biker gangs: the Vagos,
Mongols, and Outlaws. In separate investigations that spanned years
and coasts, Falco risked his life, suffering a fractured neck and a
severely torn shoulder, working deep under cover to bring violent
sociopaths to justice.
His dedication was profound; Falco spent almost three years
infiltrating the Vagos gang and rose to second in command of the
Victorville, California chapter. He even served time in San
Bernardino's Murder Unit and endured solitary confinement to
protect his cover and the investigations. Falco recorded
confessions of gangland-style killings and nearly became a target
himself before he sought refuge in the Witness Protection Program.
But discontent to remain on the sidelines and motivated by a strong
sense of duty, Falco eventually left the Program and volunteer his
talents again to infiltrate the Mongols and Outlaws, rising in rank
to Vice President of the Petersburg, Virginia Outlaws
chapter.
His efforts culminated in sixty two arrests of members for various
crimes, including assault and murder. Executing one of this
country's most successful RICO prosecutions and effectively
crippling the criminal enterprise, Falco's engrossing narrative of
the dangers of the biker underworld harkens back to Hunter S.
Thompson's classic "Hell's Angels, "vividly recounting a life
undercover.
