Biker: A Novel

by Jerry Langton

Overview

Step inside the inner workings of a biker gang

You’ll never meet the bikers in this novel, or visit the mythical rust-belt city of Springfield. But through the eyes of Ned “Crash” Aiken, you will experience the world of the outlaw biker gang—a world shaped by desperation, casual brutality, and fascinating rites of passage. Biker follows the career trajectory of “Crash” from his days as a small-time high school drug dealer to his rapid rise through the ranks of a biker gang that is quickly and brutally expanding its territory and criminal connections.

From drug running and gun sales, to prostitution and allegiances forged by violence, this is a struggle played out in real life within biker gangs the world over. But this is not the romantic freewheeling beer-fest version of the Hells Angels, but a sleazy existence that draws social outcasts like moths to a flame.
