Description
A hitman for the Hells Angels in the 1970s and 1980s, Yves Trudeau remains one of Canada's most prolific murderers. After narrowly escaping death, he became a government informant and confessed to his crimes, including the execution of 43 people.
However, his performance as a witness proves disastrous, and the minimal time he is sentenced to incarceration sparks public outrage. Bestselling authors Julian Sher and Lisa Fitterman tell the incredible story of this killer who eluded police and justice for over a decade. Their captivating and uncompromising account sheds light on years marked by corruption, incompetence, and... murder.
