This book is about Whitey Bulger, a big fish in the ocean of organized crime. He was at the top of the New England crime syndicate, while also informing the FBI on his cohorts. He was able to avoid trial for sixteen years, until he was finally captured while on the run in California. This book is an in depth view of the trial for murder and racketeering of Bulger. I found it to be well written. I am looking forward to reading more from this author. If anyone is in Tennessee, the Alcatraz East crime museum has a few items that belonged to Bulger on display.
