Untwisted — Autobiography of Serge LeClerc

Untwisted follows Serge LeClerc from a troubled childhood in inner-city Toronto to a life entrenched in crime and organized networks. By the 1980s he was on the RCMP's Most Wanted list and linked to a multimillion-dollar narcotics operation; earlier offenses included theft, fraud, armed robbery and ties to major crime families.

The account moves through street life, lengthy sentences in maximum-security facilities and time in solitary, then into a striking personal transformation. The memoir delivers candid, first-person detail about criminal networks, prison conditions and the long, difficult work of change.

Suitable for readers of true crime, criminal justice studies and personal narratives of recovery, the book pairs gritty reportage with reflection on accountability and rehabilitation.
