Download Whitey Bulger: America's Most Wanted Gangster and the Manhunt That Brought Him to Justice AudioBook Free
Raised in a South Boston real estate project, Adam "Whitey" Bulger became the most sought fugitive of his era. With this riveting story, abundant with family ties and intrigue, award-winning Boston World reporters Kevin Cullen and Shelley Murphy follow Whitey's outstanding criminal profession - from teenage thievery to loan provider robberies to the building of his underworld empire and a string of brutal murders. It was following a nine-year stint in Alcatraz and other prisons that Whitey reunited with his sibling William "Billy" Bulger, who was simply soon to become one of Massachusetts's most effective politicians. He also became reacquainted with John Connolly, who possessed grown up around the corner from the Bulgers and was now - with Billy's help - a rising celebrity at the FBI. Once Whitey emerged triumphant from the bloody Boston gang wars, Connolly recruited him as an informant against the Mafia. Their clandestine romance made Whitey untouchable; the FBI overlooked playing, drugs, and even homicide to safeguard their source. One of the close-knit Irish community in South Boston, nothing was more important than honor and commitment, and nothing was worse than being truly a rat. Whitey is charged with the deaths of 19 people killed over turf, for business, and even to be informants; yet even today he denies he ever gave up his friends or arrived anyone in jail.
