About this product

Product Information

In 1998, William Queen was a veteran law enforcement agent with a lifelong love of motorcycles and a lack of patience with paperwork. When a "confidential informant" made contact with his boss at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, offering to take an agent inside the San Fernando chapter of the Mongols (the scourge of Southern California, and one of the most dangerous gangs in America), Queen jumped at the chance, not realizing that he was kicking-starting the most extensive undercover operation inside an outlaw motorcycle gang in the history of American law enforcement. Nor did Queen suspect that he would penetrate the gang so successfully that he would become a fully "patched-in" member, eventually rising through their ranks to the office of treasurer, where he had unprecedented access to evidence of their criminal activity. After Queen spent twenty-eight months as "Billy St. John," the bearded, beer-swilling, Harley-riding gang-banger, the truth of his identity became blurry, even to himself. During his initial "prospecting" phase, Queen was at the mercy of crank-fueled criminal psychopaths who sought to have him test his mettle and prove his fealty by any means necessary, from selling (and doing) drugs, to arms trafficking, stealing motorcycles, driving getaway cars, and, in one shocking instance, stitching up the face of a Mongol "ol' lady" after a particularly brutal beating at the hands of her boyfriend. Yet despite the constant criminality of the gang, for whom planning cop killings and gang rapes were business as usual, Queen also came to see the genuine camaraderie they shared. When his lengthy undercover work totally isolated Queen from family, his friends, and ATF colleagues, the Mongols felt like the only family he had left. "I had no doubt these guys genuinely loved Billy St. John and would have laid down their lives for him. But they wouldn't hesitate to murder Billy Queen." From Queen's first sleight of hand with a line of methamphetamine in front of him and a knife at his throat, to the fearsome face-off with their decades-old enemy, the Hell's Angels (a brawl that left three bikers dead), to the heartbreaking scene of a father ostracized at Parents' Night because his deranged-outlaw appearance precluded any interaction with regular citizens, Under and Alone is a breathless, adrenaline-charged read that puts you on the street with some of the most dangerous men in America and with the law enforcement agents who risk everything to bring them in.

Good hard read.
Very good read if you are interested in the reality of the outlaw biker world. Just leaves me a bit frustrated... all the pain and fear, rape, torture, murder these people do. But then they only ever get sentenced for one of their crimes and then do such little time. Too bad they can't get sentenced for the overall quality of their lives.

Under and Alone - Mongols MC - California - Softcover
In 1998 the Mongols were one of the most dangerous motorcycle gangs in America. They were hated even by the Hells Angels. The two MCs were mortal enemies but no one was able to bring down the Mongols, except for one bearded, beer drinking, Harley riding law enforcement agent by the name of William Queen. To the Mongols SFV Chapter and the whole Mongol Nation he was known a Billy St. John who became a Full Patch Member of this society. Like Joe Pistone aka Donnie Brasco, this man gave his all to this assignment. I really thought this book was very good reading. There is alot of action, and you take the ride with Queen all the way. With all the trials and tribulations that the Mongols put Billy through it really makes you wonder how he ever came out of this alive. On the New York Times Bestseller List this book is definitely one you should read. All I have to say is MCs Beware !! Queen might just be in one of your chapters right now !! You can buy this 2006 Softcover version on eBay now !!Read full review
