About this listen

Sons of Anarchy meets The Departed in this fast-paced, high-wire act memoir from former ATF agent Ken Croke, the first federal agent in history to go undercover and successfully infiltrate the infamous—and infamously violent—Pagan Motorcycle Club, a white supremacist biker gang.

Longtime ATF agent Ken Croke had earned the right to coast to the end of a storied career, having routinely gone undercover to apprehend white supremacists, gun runners, and gang members. But after a chance encounter with an associate of the Pagan Motorcycle Gang created an opening, he transformed himself into “Slam,” a monstrous, axe-handle wielding enforcer whose duty was to protect the leadership “mother club” at all costs. He befriended the club’s most violent and criminally insane members and lived among them for two years, covertly building a case that would eventually take down the top members of the gang in a massive federal prosecution, even as he risked his marriage, his sanity, and his life. With today’s law enforcement largely moving toward the comparative safety of cyber operations, it became one of the last of its kind, a masterclass in old school tactics that marked Croke as a dying breed of undercover agent and became legendary in law enforcement.

Now for the first time, Croke tells the story of his terrifying undercover life in the Pagans—the unspeakable violence, extremism, drugs, and disgusting rituals. Written with bestselling crime writer Dave Wedge and utilizing the exclusive cooperation of those who lived the case with him, as well as thousands of pages of court files and hours of surveillance tapes and photos, Croke delivers a frightening, nail-biting account of the secretive and brutal biker underworld.

It just amazes me that law enforcement can infiltrate a vicious gang and still retain their humanity. The story telling is awesome since the author was actually embedded in the gang. But he still retained his real self.

I listen to audio books on my commute. I often find that I sort from first making contact to being a full member of the gang, I was there the whole time. Not a second was missed.

A lot goes to the author, but the person reading the book was just as important. I've listened to dozens of books and often the story is there but the voice just doesn't seem to get it. Not so with this book. The voice kept me interested as well. This is one of the best Audible books I've listened to. Well worth the credit for the purchase.

Outstanding story

Really enjoyed the part about the prospect digging up the body. Pretty funny part of the book to see if he could be trusted.

Good performance

This was the first audiobook I’ve managed to listen to start-finish. Could’ve finished it in a sitting if I hadn’t broken it up over a few days.

Great Listen
