Black Mass by Dick Lehr
THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A gripping true story of violence, double-cross and corruption, Black Mass takes us deep undercover, exposing one of the most outrageous scandals in FBI history. Boston, 1975. Under a harvest moon, 'Whitey' Bulger, godfather of the Irish Mob, waits for an old school buddy. Since they last met, Little John Connolly has become a high-ranking FBI agent. Connolly needs an informant - someone with a good view of Boston's dark side. Whitey needs certain priority treatment. Soon the die is cast.
Black Mass succeeds admirably in showing just how fragile FBI integrity can be when the good guys lose sight of the truth, the rules, and the law * * Washington Post * *
A jaw-dropping, true-life tale of how two thugs corrupted the FBI * * Baltimore Sun * *
A work of rare lucidity, high drama, journalistic integrity and plain courage -- James Carroll, author of An American Requiem
Black Mass should prompt a reevaluation of the uses and misuses of informers by law-enforcement officials throughout the country * * New York Times Book Review * *
