Jay Anthony Dobyns (born 1961), alias "Jaybird", is an ATF undercover agent who infiltrated the Hell's Angels motorcycle club. After 18 years of developing undercover expertise in gang infiltrations, home invasion robbery cases and "murder for hire" investigations, Dobyns was selected in 2001 as the lead undercover agent in an ATF investigation of the Arizona Hell's Angels, code named "Operation Black Biscuit" .

As part of this investigation, Dobyns infiltrated and lived undercover from 2001 to 2003. He was offered membership into the gang after faking the murder of a rival Mongols Motorcycle Club member and providing 'evidence' of the staged murder to Hell's Angels leaders. Dobyns and his partners worked undercover for 21 months leading to federal arrests and search warrants on July 8, 2003.

Operation Black Biscuit is memorialized in the novels, "Angels of Death" by Julian Sher and William Marsden, "Running With The Devil" by Kerrie Droban, and in television documentaries such as The History Channel's "Gangland: Behind Enemy Lines" , and the National Geographic Channel's "Inside: Outlaw Bikers - Hell's Angels" .

The book is now available for pre-order at any major book store or order it here online.

Here is what some people have already said about this book:

"Fugghedaboudit! Moving and frightening ... The most informative and authoritative book on undercover work since `DONNIE BRASCO'." - Joe Pistone , aka "Donnie Brasco" and author of the New York times bestseller "DONNIE BRASCO: MY UNDERCOVER LIFE IN THE MAFIA"

"Compulsively page-turning. The true story of Jay Dobyns, all-American dad and undercover cop running and gunning with the most dangerous outlaws in the USA. A high-velocity trip into a frightening American underworld told in rapid-fire, hard-boiled prose." - Evan Wright , author of the New York Times bestseller, "GENERATION KILL"

"Jay Dobyns is a hero.  Out of a sense of duty, he closed his eyes and made a journey into Hell.  For two years he walked through the valley of the shadow of death, but thankfully, he lived to tell this riveting story.  Highly recommended!" - William "Billy" Queen ,Special Agent ATF, Ret. and author of the New York Times bestseller, "UNDER AND ALONE"

"NO ANGEL is an absolutely amazing account of one man's willingness to go above and beyond.  Jay Dobyns, his team and those like them live life on the edge in an environment most can only imagine.  This book provides a rare opportunity to share in the intensity, feel the adrenaline rush, smell the fear, and admire true courage and dedication." - Michael Durant , author of the New York Times bestseller, "IN THE COMPANY OF HEROES" and whose character is featured in the book and film "BLACKHAWK DOWN"

"A wild ride to the dark side.  Jay Dobyns roars through the gritty underworld of organized crime that you never see in TV cop shows or read in the newspaper. He reveals the true, violent face of outlaw bikers - but also the tortured souls of the undercover cops who dare to infiltrate them." - Julian Sher , co-author of "ANGELS OF DEATH: INSIDE THE BIKERS' GLOBAL CRIME EMPIRE"

"Unprecedented and unputdownable.Most people reading this book would assume that it must be a novel since no human being could possibly be involved in so much action. However, this is the true story of a very special covert ATF agent who over decades immersed himself in the most violent and criminal culture known to law enforcement. Even as a former US Army Special Forces Operator and Police SWAT team leader, I found myself in awe of his death-defying exploits." - Dr.Richard Carmona , 17th Surgeon General of the United States
