Description
A Ty Davis Mystery.
A bloody battle between rival motorcycle gangs leads television reporter Ty Davis into yet another dangerous encounter with a big-city's underworld. His on the scene account of the violence, for CKCF Television's "Flash News," draws Davis and his colleagues into a complex web of drug-smuggling and murder. Turf wars pit local criminal bikers against each other, even as the American-based Hells Angels threaten to establish an unprecedented foothold in Canada. Law enforcement agencies in both countries deal with a deadly alliance between two, powerful mafia families. A multi-million dollar Canada-U.S. drug conspiracy hangs in the balance and one cop and his street informants appear to stand in its way. Davis ... stands in the middle.

Editorial Reviews
Praise for The Bidding:
"Haugland weaves a tale of international intrigue, even while he dishes up glimpses of a bygone era of broadcast journalism. I couldn't put it down." -Lloyd Robertson
