Hells Angels Hitman: The story of Canada's deadliest assassin
In 1977, the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club opened up a chapter in Montreal. One of its founding members was a man named Yves “Apache” Trudeau. Although he was quiet and diminutive, Trudeau had a knack for violence. And, before long, he had developed a reputation as a ruthless assassin. By the time his criminal career ended, he had murdered no fewer than 43 people. Despite the magnitude of his crimes, Trudeau only served 7 years in prison. Now, Julian Sher and Lisa Fitterman are reexamining the story in their new book Hitman: The Untold Story of Canada’s Deadliest Assassin. Feedback for us?
