Whitey Bulger is gone from Boston, but Bench McCarthy is
here to take his place. Bench McCarthy is a thug's
thug, a hitman, an underworld jack-of-all-trades running his
own mob out of Winter Hill in Somerville while
simultaneously handling "wet work" for Sally Curto, a
half-demented, totally obscene mob boss. After years
of gangland peace, Bench and Sally suddenly find themselves
clay pigeons for unknown hit crews coming at them from every
direction. The motives are as murky as the hitmen
themselves, but all roads seem to lead back to the State
House, where corrupt pols are battling over a bill to
legalize billions of dollars' worth of new casinos. In
order to stay alive as he puts an end to the uprising, the
wisecracking Bench must set aside his objections and enlist
the help of Jack Reilly, a dodgy ex-cop turned private
investigator. The hunter has become the
hunted. Killers is a thrilling ride through the
dark underbelly of Boston crime and politics that could only
have been written by the man novelist James Ellroy calls
"the Bacon-Banging Boston Bossman"-Howie Carr, the newspaper
columnist on whom Whitey Bulger first put out a contract and
then called as a defense witness during his 2013 murder
trial in Boston.
