Shortlisted for the National Book Critics Circle Award for Nonfiction (2013).

Whitey Bulger: America's Most Wanted Gangster and the Manhunt That Brought Him to Justice won the New York Times Bestseller and was a #1 Boston Globe Bestseller. An instant classic, this unforgettable narrative, rich with family ties and intrigue, follows the astonishing career of a gangster whose life was more sensational than fiction. Cullen and Murphy have broken more Bulger stories than anyone, and Whitey Bulger became front-page news, revealing the mobster's secret letters written from Plymouth Jail after the sixteen-year manhunt that led to his capture and offering unparalleled insight into his contradictions and complex personality. The afterword covering the results of the dramatic and emotional trial provides a riveting denouement to this eminently fair and thorough telling of a life, which makes it all the more damning.
