Face to Face with Whitey Bulger by Rich Teahan and Bob Ward is a fascinating book on the search for the Boston mobster and how he eluded authorities for years. Teahan, a retired FBI agent who interviewed Bulger on the plane back from California, provides riveting details about how the mobster stayed on the run successfully while also peppering in details of his own history tracking fugitives. Ward, an award winning and respected TV journalist, did an amazing job with Teahan in crafting this this book you won't be able to put down.

This was an excellent read. I went to a book talk with the authors. Not a tough read but very interesting with some new information I was not aware of.
