Brutal by Kevin Weeks
I grew up in the Old Colony housing project in South Boston and became partners with James Whitey Bulger, who I always called Jimmy. Jimmy and I, we were unstoppable. I went away for five and a half years. I was brutally honest on the witness stand, and this book is brutally honest, too; the brutal truth that was never before told.
"Weeks lands a knockout punch with this compelling look at one of the most intriguing figures in the American underworld" -- - George Anastasia, bestselling author of The Last Gangster "Rarely have the nuts-and-bolts of 'the gangster life' been laid bare in such shocking, unvarnished detail." -- - T. J. English, New York Times bestselling author of Paddy Whacked and The Westies "Mesmerizing and fascinating ... no organized crime fiction I have read has anything on this book. I couldn't put it down." -- - Michael Palmer, New York Times bestselling author of The Society "...most interesting and accurate. When Weeks talks about Bulger, he's got the goods and he makes clear the others don't." -- - Boston Sunday Globe "Weeks has made his literary bones. He has credibility..." -- - Boston Phoenix "Absorbing." -- -Deseret Morning News "Bulger has spawned a handful of books about his mayhem. So far, Weeks' is the best. " -- - Cleveland Plain Dealer "A dazzling story...Brutal is the most revealing and chilling true crime story that I have ever read." -- - Julian Krainin, Producer of "Quiz Show" and "Something the Lord Made"
