An FBI agent and
USA Today-bestselling author present the true story of the lawman's pursuit of James "Whitey" Bulger, Jr., the notorious Boston crimelord.
The Jack Nicholson film
The Departed didn't tell half of their story. A poor kid from the slums, Robert Fitzpatrick grew up to become a stellar FBI agent and challenge the country's deadliest gangsters. Relentless in his desire to catch, prosecute, and convict Whitey Bulger, Fitzpatrick fought the nation's most determined cop-gangster battle since Melvin Purvis hunted, confronted, and killed John Dillinger.
In his crusade to bring Bulger to justice, Fitzpatrick faced not only Whitey but also corrupt FBI agents, along with political cronies and enablers from Boston to Washington who, in one way or another, blocked his efforts at every step. Even when Fitzpatrick discovered the very organization to which he had sworn allegiance was his biggest obstacle, the agent continued to pursue Whitey and his gang... knowing that they were prepared to murder anyone who got in their way.
"This is a stupendous read, as electrifying as
Mystic River but even more horrifying for being absolutely true.
Betrayal is a page-turner of the highest order. You will not be able to put this book down-guaranteed." -Douglas Preston, #1
New York Times-bestselling author
"A rapid-fire tale told with a passion that is a testament to the agent with the courage to wage the decades-long battle to get to the truth." -Lorenzo Carcaterra, #1
