Dead Biker

Sometimes, you make bad choices. Sometimes, bad choices are made for you. In Biker, the first book of the trilogy, Ned “Crash” Aiken thought he had made a clean break. He had turned on his biker brothers in the Sons of Satan and entered the FBI's witness protection program, only to end up in a different kind of prison—one of mediocre work and cheap apartments. He then fell in with the Russian mob, learning its brutal code first-hand and fleeing the organization when the stakes got too high. Between the FBI, the Sons, and the Russians, there are a lot of people who want to get their hands on the innocent-looking ex–drug trafficker. Now he's in Mexico, trying to go straight and stay alive. But Mexico isn't like the United States. It isn't even what it was in its heyday—a playground for wealthy, vacationing gringos or college kids partying on the cheap. Ned is no stranger to drugs, violence, and brutality, and what he sees in Mexico he can only try to ignore.
