Reseña del editor
Writer Kevin Weeks was top Lieutenant to James 'Whitey' Bulger, head of the Boston Mafia and who has now been on the run for 15 years. On the Most Wanted list, Whitey was second only to Osama bin Laden and still has a two million dollar reward on his head for information leading to his capture. This book is a story of murder, friendship and loyalty within the mob, using many situations that Weeks omitted from Brutal. The story is all based on fact, making it all the more intriguing, and using insider knowledge to more than hint toward the whereabouts of the FBI's Most Wanted. When Joey Donahue is released from prison after serving six years for racketeering and crimes committed as deputy to the infamous Boston Irish Mob boss and psychopathic murderer James 'Whitey' Bulger, he is determined to stay clear of the life of crime that has supported him for the past twenty-five years. After a year of trying unsuccessfully to find a job due to his notorious association with Bulger, Joey finally surrenders to the temptation of a friend's offer to join him in a fast score; a simple robbery of a drug dealer that should pay the bills until he finds a viable job. The robbery turns out to be a sting operation set up by the FBI for the express purpose of forcing Joey to cooperate in the frustratingly unsuccessful search for his onetime mentor. The last confirmed sighting of Bulger was in London in 2002; in December 2010, he'll have evaded the FBI for 16 years and will recently have turned 81 years old. It is speculated that Bulger is also the inspiration for the ruthless crime kingpin Francis 'Frank' Costello, played by Jack Nicholson in Martin Scorsese's Academy Award-winning film The Departed (2006).
