About

Cold-blooded. Untouchable. Unravelled. Yves “Apache” Trudeau was a legend among killers – an assassin for the Hells Angels whose brutal efficiency made him a weapon for hire across Montreal’s warring underworlds. But when a failed hit sent him into rehab, Trudeau shocked the country by turning informant, only to bring chaos to the courts with his botched testimony. In The Hitman, award-winning investigative journalists Julian Sher and Lisa Fitterman uncover the rise and fall of a man who blurred the lines between loyalty and carnage. Join them for a chilling look inside the mind of a killer – and the justice system that struggled to contain him.

Generously supported by The Mary Jane and Paul Torrie Foundation.

The wild and gripping story of Yves “Apache" Trudeau. Ideal for true crime readers and fans of crime podcasts. For Yves Trudeau, the blood was all business.
