'We are the people our parents warned us about' is the motto of the
Bandidos, one of the world's most feared outlaw motorcycle gangs.
For ten years, Steve Utah was a Bandidos insider. He arranged the
security of their clubhouses and electronic surveillance and
counter surveillance. He 'cooked' ecstasy and meth for them. He was
at meetings where interstate and overseas drug and weapons
smuggling was planned. He saw stolen military weapons, including
deadly rocket launchers, being sold. He witnessed vicious beatings,
helped dump corpses. He saw men executed in front of him. It all
became too much and, in an attempt to regain control of his life,
Utah resorted to the unthinkable: he rolled over to the Federal
Police and told them all he knew about the Bandidos. He had
intimate knowledge of every facet of the Bandidos' business in
Australia and many aspects of their activities in North America. He
literally knew where the bodies were buried. This shocking,
unflinching, tragic story is Steve Utah's confession. He knows he
is a dead man running - that inevitably the Bandido code will be
honoured and he will be silenced. But not before Utah gets his
chance to wake readers to the looming threat in their midst - the
relentless rise of sophisticated organised crime networks inside
outlaw motorcycle gangs and the apparent inability of the police
and legal system to deal with it.
