His investigative efforts resulted in criminal convictions of a half-dozen of Boston’s most notorious thugs and also led to the conviction of John Connolly, one of the FBI agents who abetted Bulger; Connolly is now serving a forty-year prison sentence. In this book, Foley, a cop’s cop, honestly recounts how his wide-eyed admiration for the nation’s top law enforcement agency was gradually transformed by dark realities he didn’t want to believe. In 2004, THOMAS J. FOLEY was awarded the United States Attorney General’s Award for Exceptional Service.
There are some claims that Whitey pimped himself out as a gay hooker when he was a teenager, but I don’t buy it. He’s into power and control, and that’s always been pretty much it. I was born a quarter century later, in 1954, and raised in a triple-decker in Worcester. Growing up, I was an altar boy, but don’t make too much of that. I went to Catholic school, and there were plenty of altar boys. Often forgotten, Worcester is probably best known for the huge cold storage warehouse fire in 1999 that cost the lives of six firefighters.

Because I had known him before that. From Walpole, where he’d been doing a three-year hitch for larceny. Fat, pimply Geroux. One more time.
