A Fugitive’s Capture, Followed by a Six-Hour Debrief

Rich Teahan’s account shifts the focus from the search for James “Whitey” Bulger to the law-enforcement interview that followed his capture. Teahan, who commanded the FBI task force, recounts a six-hour debrief aboard a Justice Department jet returning Bulger to Boston—the only interview Bulger granted to law enforcement, according to the description. The book places that exchange within the broader effort to locate and bring the organized-crime boss to justice, drawing on Teahan’s role in the investigation and his account of confronting Bulger.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

Book overview

The FBI's high stakes capture of fugitive Boston mob boss James "Whitey" Bulger at his hideout in Santa Monica, California, slammed shut a 16-year-long international odyssey to find one of the FBI's most wanted men. But it was not the end of the story.

In this firsthand account, FBI Supervisory Special Agent Richard Teahan, who commanded the Whitey Bulger Task Force, brings us face to face with Whitey during an epic six-hour transcontinental debrief on board a Justice Department jet as it returned Bulger to Boston. Teahan details the only interview Bulger ever granted to law enforcement, revealing his ruthless and often paranoid world view.

Chronicling his personal quest to confront Bulger, Teahan lifts the veil on the backbreaking, sometimes anguishing effort to bring one of America's most brutal organized crime bosses to justice.
