author:  Julian Sher 
description: "(A) tremendous work on the Hells' Angels .... that will raise needed public awareness and denunciation of this threat to our communities."<br />Honourable Gord Mackintosh, Minister of Justice/Attorney General, Manitoba<br /><b><br /></b>Julian Sher and William Marsden present a thorough, colourful, enlightening account of how various missteps by the justice system helped the Hells [Angels] become the first organized crime organization to operate coast to coast... . With a cast of characters that includes blunt-talking police investigators and dozens of bikers, the book offers a multi-faceted perspective of what was going on behind the scenes among the bikers and those working to bring them to justice during the past decade.<br /><i>Canadian Press<br /><br /></i>Surprisingly detailed. Chilling.<br /><i>The Daily News</i> (Halifax)<br /><br />Pulling no punches[a]uthors Julian Sher and William Marsden detail Nova Scotia murder plots, contract killings and twisted revenge-filled biker politics, fuelled by the gangs insatiable desire to control turf.<br /><i>The Chronicle-Herald</i> (Halifax)<br /><br /><b>The Road to Hell: How Biker Gangs Conquered Canada</b> by Montreal journalists Julian Sher and William Marsdenis clearly a case oftruth being stranger than fiction, and Sher and Marsden tell [the] story very well.  <b>Road to Hell</b> is a triumph on several levels. The authors are clearly comfortable with their topic and theres a sense of indignation and zeal that fuels their story.  Sher and Marsden have managed to write an important book that moves with the power and style of a Harley Electra Glide.<br /><i>Toronto Star<br /></i><br /><b>Praise for <i>Until You Are Dead</i> by Julian Sher:</b><br />There have been previous books on the trial of Steven Truscott, but <b>Until You Are Dead</b> is the most comprehensive analysis to date. . . . It is difficult to conceive of anything more that could be said in Truscotts defence.<br /><i>The Globe and Mail</i><br /><br />Before there was Donald Marshall, David Milgaard, Guy Paul Morin, Gregory Parsons or Thomas Sophonow, there was Stephen Truscott. [Sher] has uncovered new evidence and written a compelling story detailing how Truscotts 1959 murder trial was horribly flawed.<br /><i>The Vancouver Sun</i><br /><br /><br /><i>From the Hardcover edition.</i>
