In The Road to Hell, two investigative journalists present a detailed account of how the Hells Angels transformed from a regional motorcycle club into a national crime empire. By 2002, despite Maurice “Mom” Boucher’s imprisonment, the gang had expanded to 37 chapters and almost 600 members across Canada.
Drawing on police files, wiretaps, and surveillance records, the authors examine high-profile patchovers, turf wars in Winnipeg, and smuggling operations on the West Coast. They illustrate how overburdened prosecutors and political inaction allowed the gang to strengthen its hold on the drug trade.
The book also profiles the undercover work of Danny Kane, an anonymous agent whose infiltration of the elite Quebec Nomads provided crucial evidence against Boucher. Readers gain insight into the tactics, risks, and human costs of life inside and against organized crime.
Key topics covered:
- National expansion of Hells Angels chapters
- Maurice Boucher’s leadership and trial
- Undercover operations and wiretap investigations
- Impact on law enforcement and communities
