So, he became an undercover police agent, the first one whose life wasn’t in danger.Jerry Langton, one of Canada’s best known crime authors, follows Dave’s incredible trip while exposing the inner workings of the Canadian drug trade, weapons trade, crime organizations, police investigations and judicial system. Dave became as the president of a major biker gang chapter, robbed a powerful Russian gangster, occupied a maximum-security prison cell next to the notorious Paul Bernardo, struggled to find ways to hide all of his cash, drove cars worth as much as a suburban house without ever having a license and frequently taunted those in law enforcement who never found a way to shut down his drug business.The most incredible part of the whole story is that all of it was happening right under the noses of frustrated police services and naive neighbors. From a trip to Home Depot to pick up burglary tools to the purchase of a grenade launcher powerful enough to take down a large house, Dave plied his trade with almost total impunity.
