About this listen

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 volunteered 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 62 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.

Critic reviews

"This window into the criminal biker culture offers a tale as grimy and bloody as the world its writer moved through." ( Library Journal)

Into an Abyss of Bad Actors

Where does Vagos, Mongols, and Outlaws rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It's one of the best of it's kind. Falco was there, he chewed the dirt as it were and everything is from his perspective.

What other book might you compare Vagos, Mongols, and Outlaws to and why?

Under and Alone comes to mind

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The treatment of women is appalling.

Any additional comments?

I can't believe how badly Falco is treated by the good guys at times. This book really takes you there and exposes the underside of OMG's.

I was expecting more.

I didn't care much for the writing style... Different type of story telling... A bit too artistic and descriptive for me....

Straight Up Fiction

I have read quite a few books about 1%er motorcycle clubs, mostly about 81 and I have to say this book is probably the worst I have read. IMO there is not that much that I believed and I think Falco has a big exaggeration, I think he was just trying to spin a story that would sell. Also in my opinion he is just a glorified rat. I like Jeffrey Kafer, I have listened to several of his books and I think he narrated this bs story pretty well. I read this on Kindle as well as listening on Audible.
