O knihe
Whitey Bulger was, following the death of Osama bin Laden, the number-one fugitive on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list. He was one of the most prominent mobsters in Boston's criminal underworld from the 1970s until his disappearance in 1995. He remained at large for sixteen years.
But the truth was much more complicated, as his trial revealed in alarming detail. Throughout the era in which Bulger was a crime boss, he was also a Top Echelon Informant for the FBI, supposedly helping prosecutors make organized-crime cases against the Mafia by feeding them information that could win them convictions in court. His insidious relationship with the justice system represents the hidden horror of the Bulger story and the battleground on which prosecutors and defense lawyers clashed at his trial.
Author T. J. English was present every day of the proceedings, and in Where the Bodies Were Buried gives us not just an account of the trial but also a deeply sourced, disturbing portrait of the decades-long culture of collusion between the Feds and the Irish and Italian Mob factions that ruled Boston and much of New England from the 1970s forward.
