“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
Gary Dimmock wrote the foreword for Coastal West's new book, Treacherous. The following is an excerpt from that foreword:
This book, Derry's first, can stand as a manual of sorts and should be read by all police officers who handle agents—if not for its style, then for its brief tour inside the former agent's mind and for what it reveals about the relationship between the Mounties and an agent.

Treacherous Press Release
June 1, 2009
Treacherous How the RCMP allowed a Hells Angel to kill Coastal West Publishing is proud to announce the publication of a new book in the category of True Crime. Treacherous by Paul Derry is an inside look at the life of an undercover RCMP agent—an agent whose dangerous life landed him in the middle of a murder plot. It was a murder that he tried desperately to prevent but could not. The book is backed by hundreds of internal RCMP documents and offers a revealing look at how the RCMP deals with its paid informants. “Paul Derry paints a scary, scathing picture of the seamy world of organized crime, murder, snitches and betrayal – as only an insider can do it.” (Julian Sher, co-author of Angels of Death and The Road to Hell) This was not just any informant; this informant was handled personally across twenty years by Assistant Commissioner Michel Cabana; the same Michel Cabana who led the infamous terrorist investigation against Maher Arar. 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 society. Although Paul and his wife are currently in Canada’s Witness Protection Program, they continue to be available to speak at selective engagements where their story may foster change in others or the system.
