Treacherous

by Derry

Coastal West Publishing | May 1, 2009 | Trade Paperback

What Others Say : In view of Derry’s capabilities to supply good information due to his close association to some of Moncton area’s most prominent drug traffickers/criminals and the fact that his probation was a result of a minor criminal offence, consideration should be given for Derry to become a coded human source. Mike Cabana, March 28, 1988   ( Derry ) has worked as an agent for RCMP Moncton Drugs and was successful in introducing an undercover operator to numerous drug dealers. Cst. Dan Rowter, Bridgewater RCMP, September 12, 1990     Throughout the operation, J-1028 ( Derry ) displayed a high level of dedication toward the objectives of the job and earned a certain level of credibility with the writer for being observant, truthful and dependable. Bob Powers, Moncton Drugs, September 13, 1990   ( Derry ) continues to provide valuable information/intelligence on the Hells Angels and their close associates. These sections, as well as others, are interested in pursuing this information further. Cst. G. H. Clarke, July 15, 1996     Derry travels in the local drug sub-culture circles in the Brockville/Prescott areas. He would be an excellent tool to infiltrate the local drug traffickers. Cst. J.C. Rennick, Kingston Drug Section, October 1, 1999   On this date, Halifax Regional Police Department will be concluding their investigation, which used the services of H885 ( Derry ) in the agent capacity. They will be arresting three local persons for first degree murder and at the same time arresting a full patch member of the Hells Angels. This member is the person who ordered the murder of Sean Simmons to occur. The charging of the Hells member is significant and will have a tremendous impact on the overall criminal activity within the metro area. Cpl. Al Comeau, April 17, 2001   Paul Derry paints a scary, scathing picture of the seamy world of organized crime, murder, snitches and betrayal as only an insider can tell it. It is his version, told from the heart. You don’t have to believe every word he writes or agree with everything he says to shudder and shake your head in fear and amazement. A dark tale of the dark underbelly of our society. Julian Sher, co-author of Angels of Death and The Road to Hell   A very good read for anyone wanting to find out what it is like to go from a normal childhood to a life of crime, become an informant for the police and then get involved in the ultimate crime. I was involved in this investigation, but once I started to read this book, I had to read on. It grabbed my attention, and I had to see where it was going.   Det. Shane Halliday (retired), Halifax Regional Police, Major Crime Unit

About the Author

Paul Derry is a former drug dealer, convict and RCMP informant, now an author and entrepreneur trying to make a positive impact on the world. He and his wife are currently under the Canadian Witness Protection Program.   RCMP documents refer to Paul Derry as J-1028, O.3561, H885 and RVM82.   Derry was first used as a source for the RCMP when he was under the age of eighteen. He was coded officially in 1988 and worked as a source until the year 2000. Derry walked the thin line between a criminal and a police agent for many years, with much success. He has seen the good, the bad and the ugly of both sides of the law. Derry ’s career ended October 3, 2000 after an attempted operation went horribly wrong, resulting in the death of Sean Simmons.   After the Halifax Regional Police Department arrested him for the murder, he was required to bargain his way out of the murder charge. As a consequence, Derry and the members of his immediate family were placed on the Hells Angels hit list, and in May 2001 they were placed in the Witness Protection Program in order to ensure their survival.   Since leaving the world of crime behind, Derry has made some drastic changes in his life: He has spent time as a director for a non-profit organization that works with victims of violent crime. He has worked as a consultant regarding many areas of the criminal justice system. He and his wife work in a Christian ministry with a focus of preventing youth from entering gangs and helping those involved in gang life to escape its grasp.
