outlaw motorcycle gangs must be a concern for everyone, from the
suburban soccer mom to the Bay Street broker.”
—National Post
“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.”
—Canadian Press
“Surprisingly detailed…. Chilling.”
—The Daily News (Halifax)
“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 gang’s insatiable
desire to control turf.”
—The Chronicle-Herald (Halifax)
“The Road to Hell: How Biker Gangs Conquered Canada by Montreal
journalists Julian Sher and William Marsden…is clearly a case
of…truth being stranger than fiction, and Sher and Marsden tell
[the] story very well. … Road to Hell is a triumph on several
levels. The authors are clearly comfortable with their topic and
there’s 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.”
