Going in under the alias "Dr. Death," Walsh earns his membership, a sticky proposition since his initiation involves murder. He plumbs the slick, powerful organization underlying the gang's scruffy, beer-guzzling exterior and learns how it eludes the police, noting piously that "if every member of law enforcement was honest there would be no more crime." The longer he's with the members of this sleazy crew, the more he takes to them, concluding that hatred of these bikers rests on envy of their freedom from social constraints and fear of what is alien. Violent episodes seem to appear as much for their own sake as to advance the plot, as with a fight between the Philadelphia Henchmen and the Mafia in which Walsh has no part. The theme of police corruption and penny-ante philosophy notwithstanding, Bungert's debut highlights savages having a good time at what they do. Copyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc.
