Hunted Down
Description
Writer Kevin Weeks was top Lieutenant to James "Whitey" Bulger, head of the South Boston Irish Mob, who was on the run for more than 16 years before his capture on June 22, 2011. While on the FBI Most Wanted list with a two million dollar reward, Whitey had been second only to Osama bin Laden. Hunted Down is a story of murder, friendship and loyalty within the mob. It includes additional information and stories that Weeks omitted from his NYT bestselling memoir, Brutal: The Untold Story of My Life Inside Whitey Bulger's Irish Mob. While Hunted Down is fiction, its insider knowledge makes it all the more intriguing and depicts an exciting, realistic story of the FBI's global hunt and eventual capture of Whitey Bulger and his companion of Catherine Greig.
