Criminal and an Irishman: The Inside Story of the Boston Mob - IRA Connection

Description: Nee's narrative transports the reader into the criminal underworld, inside the planning and preparation for an armored car heist, inside gang wars, and revenge killings. His stories are sometimes dark and brutal, but they shed light on the world in which we live, and are stories that only he can tell.

Review Quotes: "A profane, often brutal memoir . . . Nee maintained an uneasy alliance with Bulger while pursuing his personal cause--raising money and smuggling weapons for the Irish Republican Army."
--The Boston Herald

"Nee commits some horrible crimes, from attempted murder to armed robbery. Yet even as he chases someone with a rifle through South Boston, he's the sort of guy you want to root for . . . Scenes in which Nee interacts with his parents or siblings are most touching. He's a good son, a bit of a smart-aleck and a fine drinking buddy as well as a gunrunner and would be assassin."
--The Lawrence Eagle-Tribune
