Brutal

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.

Reviews

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.
