"Whitey is the definitive word on the whole sordid saga of the Bulger mob. Expertly crafted, beautifully told."
Dennis Lehane, author of Live by Night
"Lehr and O’Neill have outdone themselves. Whitey
isn’t just a chilling biography of a monster—it’s also a vivid portrait
of Southie, a blood-spattered history of Boston mob wars, and a searing
indictment of the corrupt FBI agents who literally gave Whitey Bulger
a license to kill. Full of new information about Whitey’s prison stint
as a young man and his life as an elderly fugitive, this is the
definitive account of one of weirdest and most sordid chapters in the
history of American crime."
Tom Perrotta, author of The Leftovers
