This is the story of the search for the most wanted man in America. Whitey Bulger was a mobster and sadistic murderer and Thomas J. Foley of the Massachusetts State Police led the search to put him behind bars.

The author does an excellent job of detailing the conflicts between the State Police and the FBI. The FBI wanted to get other crime boses and got Foley to concentrate on others.

In one instance, Foley's team was conducting a secret surveillance of mobsters and two FBI agents parked their car outside the area being watched. When the mobsters saw the FBI the surveillance was ruined.

Foley and his team captured other criminals, always keeping their hope of capturing the elusive Bulger.

Eventually, Foley had enough interference and returned to normal State Police duties. However, his work was appreciated by superiors and he was brought back to head the State Police Special Service Section (SSS) with the backing to go after Bulger.

Foley was the dogged hero who finally brought closure to some of the families of Bulger's victims.

Thomas Foley made it his life work to get James "Whitey" Bulger. Reading his story will frighten you...how could they??? They meaning the FBI!
Thomas Foley wanted this monster off the streets of Boston so badly that it did affect his health....and he was thwarted on each try of capturing him by the FBI.
The story is so riveting you won't be able to put the book down. The book brings to lite a lot of the "Irish Mob" in Boston, and a lot of the ones that aren't there anymore.
The "Evil" one was finally caught decades later,I saw it on the news. Now in his eighties and just plain old. To think he got to live the good life after all he had done. Foley is now retired, but he is the one responsible for bring down this man.
I recommend this really good read....it will grab you and really make you think. Amazing that this is going on ...and yet we know it, but don't want to believe it!

I received this book from Simon & Schuster Publishing, and was not required to give a positive review.
