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 showbiz entertainers,
Johnny was charismatically colorful--as charming as he was
frightening. After all, he was, in the end... a hitman.
