Boston's Underbelly: Gangsters and Politics

Review of Killers by Howie Carr

Set in Boston, this is an insider’s look into the Boston Mob and equally corrupt political system. The story follows Mobster Bench McCarthy and disgraced Private Investigator Jack Reilly as they try to make sense of a number of violent attacks surrounding the licensing of a casino. Mr. Carr’s in-depth knowledge of the political games and the gangsters of Boston’s underside makes for a realistic story that hold back no punches.
