Mistreated by his drug-addled mother, Hicks found sanctuary with his adoptive family of felonious uncles--known to law enforcement as the Winter Hill Gang. These crooks knew where all the bodies were buried--because they'd done the burying--but they also looked out for young Sean. After such an upbringing, a life of crime was a given. In this unprecedented memoir, Hicks talks about his experience running illegal goods up and down the coast of Massachusetts. Terms like money laundering and assault insufficiently describe his daily tasks, a brash existence that alternated with stints behind bars. This knuckles-close look at mobster life chronicles the greed and avarice, tenderness and brutality, and the reckoning all gangsters must eventually face. 600 14 $a Bulger, James J., $c Jr. $q (James Joseph), $d 1929-2018. 650 0 $a Organized crime $z Boston Region. $z Boston Region. 650 0 $a Irish Americans $z Boston Region $z Boston Region $x Social conditions. 650 0 $a Irish American criminals $z Boston. $z Boston. 650 0 $a Gangsters $z United States $v Biography. 650 7 $a TRUE CRIME / Organized Crime. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Memoirs. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Criminals & Outlaws. $2 bisacsh 651 0 $a South Boston (Boston, Mass.) $x Social conditions. 941 $a 1 952 $l FYPI314 $d 20240502012012.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D7E1FF66084B11EFBCAD05DA2DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
