Wow! Most Wanted is a relentless, page-turning read written by Thomas J. Foley, the man who spent most of his life pursuing the gangster, Whitey Bulger. Not only did Whitey become an FBI informant, and committed nineteen crimes while being protected, but the FBI thwarted Foley every time he got close to capturing the murderer.

There are personal true accounts of Foley's investigations, how he decided to pursue his investigation and his accounts with the family and friends of Bulger's victims. Bulger was considered the Robin Hood of the South Boston area, but after reading Most Wanted, Bulger was a sadistic cold-blooded killer. He was finally apprehended by Foley last year and will start trial later this year. If you enjoy reading police procedurals, real accounts of the Mob and the tenacity of one man who refused to give up until justice was served, you will want to pick up Most Wanted today!!
