Description

A guided tour of Boston’s underworld, revealing the places where deals were made, people were killed, and bodies were buried. Gangsters have played a major role in shaping Greater Boston’s history. While lurking in local restaurants or just around the corner inside that inconspicuous building, countless criminals have quietly made their mark on the city and surrounding communities. ‘Gangland Boston’ reveals the hidden history of these places, bringing readers back in time to when the North End was wrought with gun violence, Hanover Street was known as a ‘shooting gallery’, and guys named King Solomon, Beano Breen, and Mickey the Wiseguy ruled the underworld.
