Was a Killer for the Hells Angels: The True Story of Serge Quesnel
by Pierre Martineau, Jean-Paul Murray
Book Description:
The shocking confession of a five-time murderer
When I arrived at the restaurant, my boss gave me a wad of $20 bills,
which amounted to some $2,000. He was acting as though money was burning
a hole in his pockets. But this suited me fine. Melou often acted that
way. He didn't want me to run out of money. A happy killer is a productive
killer.…
When he was fifteen years old, Serge Quesnel started hanging out in
strip bars and committing minor thefts and burglaries. He soon became known
to the police. He learned more about crime when he served time, first in
a detention centre, and then later in the infamous Donnacona federal penitentiary.
On his release, he was ready to realize his true ambition, to become a
confederate of the Hells Angels.
To achieve this ambition, he set out to prove that he could hurt, maim,
and kill people efficiently and without a qualm. His first murder victim
was a drug dealer who was giving the local Angels chapter trouble. He and
a friend beat the dealer to a pulp and then calmly wiped the crime scene
clean of fingerprints. The Angels were impressed. He moved to Trois-Rivières
and became a full-time enforcer.
Quesnel, having now "sold out" to the authorities and assumed a new
identity, tells his story of violence and betrayal in chilling detail to
Quebec journalist, Pierre Martineau. The resulting chronicle is a modern
crime classic.

Rockers! Kings of the Road

Street
Justice
by Chuck Zito, Joe Layden, Joseph Layden
Book Description:
From the streets of Brooklyn to the set of Oz. From Hells Angel to
celebrity bodyguard. The revealing autobiography of an American man.
Chuck Zito comes by his reputation honestly as one of the toughest,
most uncompromising men ever to sit astride a Harley. Now, with tales both
hilarious and chilling, violent and truthful, Zito tells his life story
in his own words.
From growing up on the mean streets of Brooklyn and the Bronx, where
fighting was a way of life, to becoming president of the New York chapter
of the Hells Angels, to the wild and crazy life of protecting some of the
world's biggest celebrities, Zito might be seen as a latter-day outlaw,
the last of a dying breed of men. But throughout his tempestuous days,
one thing defined him: his unfailing sense of justice, of what's really
right and what's really wrong. That's how Zito found himself facing his
biggest challenge: refusing to cooperate with a federal investigation into
his brothers, the Hells Angels, and in the process losing the very thing
he cherished most-his freedom.
Zito's astonishing recovery from this experience, and the unique kind
of stardom he forged based on hard work and sheer will, is a testament
to his courage, his ambition, and his indomitable heart-a testament now
recorded unflinchingly in Street Justice.

A
Wayward Angel : The Full-Story of the Hell's Angels by the Former Vice-President
of the Oakland Chapter
by George
Wethern, Vincent
Colnett
Book Description: The Hell's Angels. The name conjures up images of
toughs on Harleys terrorizing the law-abiding; of wild brawls and wild
sex; of drugs and cruelty, beatings, and even murder. Their lifestyle,
we think, is horrifying, but it's also perversely fascinating, for there's
an alluring freedom in such nihilism. Still, nobody knows what it's like
to be an Angel except an Angel-an Angel like George Wethern, for many years
the vice president of the Oakland Chapter.
Until he found himself in reluctant service to the courts, Wethern was
the quintessential Angel, tough as they come, one of the most important
drug dealers on the West Coast-a man who loved bikes, fights, women, and
drugs; a man who knew the deepest secrets of Angel life. Arrested, strung
out on drugs, in despair, he testified in several major trials against
Angel members-and then went into hiding.
In A Wayward Angel, we witness killings, drug deals worth millions,
"picnics" that are nothing short of orgies, the inner codes and inner workings
of the club and its bizarre initiation rites. It is a vivid portrait of
the chaos of postwar California, the awful early collision of the drug
scene and the alienation of modern life, a story as American as can be.
This is a powerful book, and not for the squeamish; but it's fascinating
and important, terrifying because it's real.

Sociology - Helmet Laws
Mandatory
Motorcycle Helmets?
Writes the author: "Mandatory motorcycle helmet laws are controversial
and give rise to strong emotions in many people. This book presents an
unemotional analysis of the factors that pertain to those laws. It recognizes
that helmets prevent head injuries or deaths for some people but asserts
that helmets also cause some accidents, neck injuries and deaths.".
