    About this audiobook

    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

      Kevin Cullen and Shelley Murphy put together a powerful book with "Whitey Bulger: America's Most Wanted Gangster and the Manhunt that Brought Him to Justice." The two Boston Globe reporters had a gold mine of material and do a great job portraying the rise and fall of the gangster who ruled Southie. By the time Whitey was captured, most of mystic of this "gentleman gangster" had eroded. So, I found the book even more powerful in its portrayal of an utterly corrupt FBI and Justice Department. The law didn't just allow Whitey and Steve "The Rifleman" Flemmi to murder with impunity, it set some of those crimes in motion. A terrifying idea to find the Boston FBI office was no better than the mobsters it was allegedly pursuing. This made for a fascinating, though occasionally too detailed, read.
