Chris Omodt, a veteran police detective, and Pat Matter, the founder and 21-year former president of the Minnesota Hells Angels, discuss the investigation into the Hells Angels, Matter鈥檚 life and imprisonment, his cooperation and his time in federal witness protection.
Together, they wrote the book 鈥淏reaking the Code,鈥� which Omodt calls a great story of redemption. Fellow crime author Mark Reps describes the book as 鈥済raphic, truthful, revealing鈥� as it 鈥渆xplores both sides of the law 鈥� the right side and the wrong side 鈥� with equal detail,鈥� and calls it a must-read for fans of true crime writing.
According to Omodt, the pair will talk about the Hells Angels鈥� war with the Outlaws, attempts on Matter鈥檚 life including a bomb under his truck, Matter鈥檚 successful custom motorcycle shop and racing career, and the pair鈥檚 activities training law enforcement agencies on motorcycle gang investigations and biker gang fact vs. fiction.
