Black Mass: The Irish Mob, the Boston FBI, and a Devil's Deal by Dick Lehr

3.0

This title was an excellent examination of the FBI's corrupt relationship with two mob bosses in Boston from the late 60's through the early 90's. I gave it three stars for the lack of a table of characters as, particularly towards the end, there were so many names involved in the policing, prosecution or criminal activities that it was difficult to keep all of the players straight. I finally gave up and just pushed through to the end. It is a very well researched, well written book and I do recommend it but it might be wise to keep a notebook handy to keep a list of different characters and their ties to whatever organization they represent.
