Non-Fiction Biography
This fresh account of Massachusetts' infamous Bulger
brothers unveils a stunning criminal alliance, and with its
dual biography format, goes deeper than the New York Times
bestselling Black Mass. For the first time,
journalist Howie Carr reveals the "real" story behind the
infamous Bulgers-twobrothers from South Boston who grew up
to control a state. With political corruption on one side
and deadly force on the other, the Bulgers shared a diabolic
and destructive alliance for decades. James "Whitey" Bulger,
"the bad son," blazed a murderous trail to become Boston's
most feared mobster and remains one of the FBI's Ten Most
Wanted Fugitives. William "Billy" Bulger, "the good son,"
wielded the gavel as president of the Massachusetts State
Senate and the University of Massachusetts, but was
eventually forced from both positions. The parallel stories
of these two brothers, rich in anecdote and shocking in
their revelations, read like an unholy hybrid of All the
King's Men and The Godfather.
