As president of the high-profile Ventura charter of the club, he had been the yin to Sonny Barger’s yang. Barger was the reckless figurehead and de facto world leader of the Hells Angels. Christie was the negotiator, the spokesman, the thinker, the guy who smoothed things out. He was the one who carried the Olympic torch and counted movie stars, artists, rock musicians, and police chief captains among his friends.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut leaving the Hells Angels isn’t easy, and within two weeks of retirement, he was told he was “out bad”—blackballed by his fellow Angels, prohibited from wearing the club patch, and even told he should remove his Death Head tattoo.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow Christie sets out to tell his story. \u003ci\u003eExile on Front Street\u003c\/i\u003e is the tale of how a former Marine gave up a comfortable job with the Department of Defense and swore allegiance to the Hells Angels. In this revealing, hard-hitting memoir, he recounts his life as an outlaw biker with the world’s most infamous motorcycle club.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\"Christie articulately defends his outlaw code, which he adhered to at great personal cost. Although he resigned from the Angels in 2010, his past, as he engagingly writes, continues to haunt him.\" —\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9781250196316\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"A Thomas Dunne Book for St. Martin's Griffin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":40683329552590,"sku":"9781250196316","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/7029\/7806\/products\/getimage_eb25391d-9922-4c51-8106-7d3db61a4d62.jpg?v=1640148277","url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9781250196316","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
