Martin Scorsese’s The Departed barely touched on his
story. Now radio talk show sensation, crime reporter, and
Boston Herald columnist, Howie Carr takes us into the
heart of the life of Johnny Martorano. For two
decades Martorano struck fear into anyone even remotely
connected to his world. His partnership with Whitey Bulger
and the infamous Winter Hill Gang led to twenty murders—for
which Johnny would serve twelve years in prison. Carr also
looks at the politicians and FBI agents who aided Johnny and
Whitey, and at the flamboyant city of Boston which Martorano
so ruthlessly ruled. A plethora of paradoxes, Johnny
Martorano was Mr. Mom by day and man-about-town by night.
Surrounded by fast-living politicians, sports celebrities,
and show biz entertainers, Johnny was charismatically
colorful—as charming as he was frightening. After all, he
was, in the end…a hitman. The paperback edition of
Howie Carr’s riveting true-crime story includes a new
epilogue detailing Whitey Bulger’s dramatic June 2011 capture.
