Where's Whitey

Writer Kevin Weeks was top Lieutenant to James 'Whitey' Bulger, head of the South Boston Irish Mob, who has now been on the run for more than 16 years. On the FBI Most Wanted list, Whitey was second only to Osama bin Laden and still has a two million dollar reward on his head for information leading to his capture. This book is a story of murder, friendship and loyalty within the mob, using many situations that Weeks could have omitted from BRUTAL. While the story is certainly fiction, its insider knowledge makes it all the more intriguing, with hints toward the actual whereabouts of the FBI's Most Wanted.

Kevin Weeks of Marblehead, MA Kevin Weeks, grew up in the Old Colony housing project in the Southern area of Boston, the fifth of six siblings and the youngest son.
