Synopsis

A New York Times Bestseller
A #1 Boston Globe Bestseller

An instant classic, this unforgettable narrative, rich with family ties and intrigue, follows the astonishing career of a gangster whose life was more sensational than fiction. Cullen and Murphy have broken more Bulger stories than anyone, and
Whitey Bulger became front-page news, revealing the mobster's secret letters written from Plymouth Jail after the sixteen-year manhunt that led to his capture and offering unparalleled insight into his contradictions and complex personality.

The afterword covering the results of the dramatic and emotional trial provides a riveting denouement to this "eminently fair and thorough telling of a life, which makes it all the more damning" (Boston Globe).

"This is the definitive story of Whitey Bulger … a masterwork of reporting."—Michael Connelly, best-selling author of The Wrong Side of Goodbye

Goodreads review by Lewis on April 10, 2014

Whitey Bulger was a horrible man, and the FBI was even worse, but this is an exciting, well-written book that has the pace of a thriller. Bulger was smart; what a waste of talent. But his solution whenever confronted with a problem was always murder - at least 19 of them. His energy was devoted to st......more

Goodreads review by Laura on April 27, 2013

This books is seriously a tome. Massive in size and substance, I was expecting to learn a great deal about Whitey himself (and I must admit here, I'm a little freaked out even mentioning Whitey's name in a public forum - I'm terrified of him after reading this book, even though he's clearly no lon......more

Goodreads review by Christine on June 23, 2020

This biography on Whitey Bulger was very interesting as it contains more information about his 16 years on the run than the other books that I've read on Bulger. The topic "man on the run" fascinates me since my childhood when I was watching "The Fugitive" with David Janssen playing Dr. Richard Kimbl......more

Goodreads review by John on March 18, 2013

There has been much written about the inherent nature of human beings, and as a former educator, I have reflected many times on the question as to whether or not people can be born "bad." There is something deep in us that wants to believe that at birth, we are all potentially improvable, and that n......more
