Mťier, infiltrateur ma vie parmi les criminels

The Hells Angels. The Bandidos. Asian triads. Russian mobsters and corrupt cops. Even the KKK. Just part of a day's work for Alex Caine, an undercover agent who has seen it all. Alex Caine started life as a working-class boy who always thought he'd end up in a blue-collar job. But after a tour in Vietnam and a stretch in prison on marijuana-possession charges, he fell into the cloak-and-dagger world of a contracted agent or "kite": infiltrating criminal groups that cops across North America and around the globe were unable to penetrate themselves. Thanks to his quick-wittedness and his tough but unthreatening demeanor, Caine could fit into whatever unsavory situation he found himself. Over twenty-five years, his assignments ran the gamut from bad-ass bikers to triad toughs. When a job was over, he'd slip away to a new part of the continent or world, where he would assume a new identity and then go back to work on another group of bad guys. Told with page-turning immediacy, Befriend and Betray gives a candid look behind the scenes at some familiar police operations and blows the lid off others that law enforcement would much prefer to keep hidden. And it offers an unvarnished account of the toll such a life takes, one that often left Caine to wonder who he really was, behind those decades of assumed identities. Or whether justice was ever truly served.

  • "Jetzt der dritte Teil der Bestsellerserie **Falscher Engel** und **Racheengel** Die Hells Angels, die Bandidos, asiatische Dealerbanden, russische Gangster und sogar den Ku-Klux-Klan - Undercover-Agent Alex Caine hat sie alle infiltriert. Über 25 Jahre lang war der Frankokanadier als Informant für die kanadischen und US-amerikanischen Behörden tätig und schleuste sich dafür in kriminelle Gangs ein. Für jeden Job zog er um, wechselte seine Identität und manchmal seinen Namen. Er gab sich als Biker, Fotograf oder Eventveranstalter aus, kaufte große Mengen an Drogen und Waffen und führte ein aufregendes, gefährliches Leben als V-Mann unter Gangstern. Alex Caine wuchs in einer Arbeiterfamilie in Französisch-Kanada auf. Nach einer schwierigen Jugend meldete er sich freiwillig zum Einsatz im Vietnamkrieg. Wieder zurück in Kanada verbrachte er nach einem geplatzten Drogendeal einige Zeit im Gefängnis und begann anschließend als Informant für die kanadischen und US-amerikanischen Behörden zu arbeiten. Heute ist er bei Ermittlungen im Bikermilieu als Berater tätig und ist viel gebuchter Redner auf Polizeikonferenzen. Er hat einen schwarzen Gurt im Kickboxen. Mister Undercover ist sein erstes Buch."

Das Milieu war Caine nicht fremd. Er war selbst in schwierigen familiären Verhältnissen aufgewachsen und schon früh auf die falsche Bahn geraten. Als junger Mann verbrachte er wegen des Besitzes von Marihuana einige Zeit im Gefängnis. Seine raue Art, seine Schlagfertigkeit und Intelligenz erwiesen sich als Türöffner auch bei den hartgesottensten Burschen und retteten Caine in brenzligen Situationen mehr als einmal das Leben. Irrsinnig fesselnd erzählt Caine in Mister Undercover seine einzigartige Lebensgeschichte."
