Martin Scorcese's The Departed barely touched on his story. Now radio talk-show sensation, crime reporter, and Boston Herald columnist Howie Carr takes us int the heart of the life of hitman Johnny Martorano and his partnership with Whiltey Bulger adn the infamous Winter Hill Gang. 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 propos du livre

Revue de presse

Howie Carr weaves a frightening tale of unlawful conduct, and it's all true. --Bill O'Reilly. The indictments of mobster-mangled Boston continue to rain down in Howie Carr's superb new true-crime book, Hitman. It's horrifying, it's deadpan shocking, it's a brilliant treatise on criminal psychopathy and a portrait of a city defined and subverted by hoodlums run amok. Read this book--it will grab you, garrote you, and leave you gasping for breath.James Ellroy, bestselling author of American Tabloid and L.A. Confidential --Various
