Jay Dobyns

JAY DOBYNS is a highly decorated federal agent who's worked for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) for twenty-seven years. He achieved worldwide notoriety as one of history's most successful undercover operators during high-octane missions targeting America's violent crime. Often playing the role of a shrewdly-calculating hitman or mob debt collector, he infiltrated scores of deadly criminal enterprises while living among street and prison gangs, anti-government extremists, gunrunning groups, drug traffickers, organized crime members, bomb builders, home invasion robbery crews and "murder-for-hire" suspects. He participated in over 500 covert operations. A defense attorney once described Jay as: "...a government-trained ‘Predator’ repeatedly sent on seek and destroy missions in search of drugs, guns and violence, with instructions to succeed at any cost and without regard for the agent himself or those he crosses paths with.” Jay is perhaps best known for his landmark effort against the notorious Hells Angels. Over a two-year period, he was the first-ever lawman to defeat the gang’s multilayered security measures to become a member of their legendary Skull Valley charter. Jay's book No Angel, My Harrowing Undercover Journey to the Inner Circle of the Hells Angels is a New York Times and international bestseller. His follow-up Catching Hell, A True Story of Abandonment and Betrayal is his bestselling memoir detailing the events of his life and career.
