Ein Ex-Zuhälter und krimineller Biker als Waldbesitzer und -schützer? Max Cameo, bekannt durch seinen explosiven YouTube-Kanal und seine Videos über die Welt der Gangs von Mülheim bis Compton, Los Angeles, ist definitiv ein ungewöhnlicher Naturaktivist. Aufgewachsen in einem alten Forsthaus mitten in der Natur, verliert das "Kind des Waldes" früh den Halt und wird kriminell: Von der ersten Hure bis zur Mitgliedschaft in einem Rockerclub erzählt er nun von seiner Zeit im Rotlichtmilieu – und was viel wichtiger ist: Er schildert, wie die Kunst – in Form seiner Leidenschaft fürs Tätowieren – und die Rückbesinnung auf den Wald ihn gerettet haben.

Devadesátá léta byla nejen dobou nadějných vyhlídek svobodné společnosti, ale i úrodným podhoubím organizovaného zločinu. Investigativní novinář Josef Klíma osobně poznal jeho aktéry – majitele Discolandu Silvie Ivana Jonáka, technologa orlických vražd Karla Kopáče, hlavy podsvětí Radovana Krejčíře či Františka Mrázka, vrahy Ivana Roubala i Jiřího Kajínka. Jak organizovaný zločin ovlivňoval polistopadovou politiku? A jak se postupně měnil v nebezpečnou realitu? Josef Klíma se snaží najít odpovědi společně s bývalými policisty, advokáty i pracovníky v tajných službách.

Three very different men battle to control their destinies as they hurtle through the hall of mirrors of the global shadow economy. Each man, born in radically different circumstances in the 1960s, is in his own way grappling with the powerful and unstoppable forces that shape the world around us; forces which topple governments, send refugees fleeing across borders, and put guns in the hands of mercenaries and militias. Each has devoted his whole life to an institution - and each will eventually be destroyed or betrayed by the thing they believe in the most.

En Forfærdelig Mand – fra Rocker til Bedemand er en tankevækkende skildring uden moraler. Det er en autentisk og rå fortælling, der tager læseren med ind i Danmarks lukkede fængsler, bagom den organiserede bandekriminalitet og et korrumperet og følelsesforladt menneske - og ud igen på den anden side. Lad det være sagt med det samme, En Forfærdelig Mand – fra Rocker til Bedemand er ikke endnu en rocker-bog, snarere et underholdende kriminalpolitisk hold kæft og tænk-bolsje.
