Overview

With a $2 million reward on his head, James Whitey Bulger was the most-wanted fugitive in America for sixteen years when he was captured by the FBI in June 2011. Two years later, this Boston organised-crime boss went on trial in his hometown. In this book New York Times best-selling author Howie Carr chronicles the trial of this notorious mob boss, who was charged with nineteen murders. Carr also shares accounts of a uniquely personal nature, including testimony from one of Bulgers hit men, who Whitey ordered to kill Carr in the driveway of his home. Despite Bulgers attempts to keep this Boston Herald columnist and radio talk-show host out of the courtroom by listing him as a defence witness, the judge allowed Carr to cover the trial, putting readers in the front row at one of the most entrancing murder trials in recent history.
