About Dick Lehr and Gerard O’Neill’s Black Mass:

The New York Times–bestselling Black Mass is a groundbreaking true crime story about the Mafia, the FBI, and the Irish Mob in between them. Journalists Dick Lehr and Gerard O’Neill expose a decades-long partnership between FBI agent John Connolly and notorious Boston mob boss Whitey Bulger.

Connolly taps childhood friend-turned–Irish mobster Bulger to be an informant. But soon enough, Bulger is the one pulling the strings, convincing Connolly to cover up his dirty deeds. This corrupt deal results in a web of crimes including racketeering, drugs, and murder, all leading to an FBI rocked by scandal when the truth comes out.

Shocking and enlightening, Black Mass is an Edgar Award–winning book that magnifies the fine line between law and lawlessness.
