LOCATION
The Director’s “Meet, Mingle, Read” series continues! Join us in
welcoming authors Beverly Ford and Stephanie Schorow who will discuss
their new book, The Boston Mob Guide: Hit Men, Hoodlums & Hideouts (History Press).
The capture of notorious mobster James "Whitey" Bulger closed an
infamous chapter in Boston history. Yet the city's criminal underworld
has a long and bloody rap sheet that stretches back to the beginning of
the twentieth century. Boston journalists Beverly Ford and Stephanie
Schorow reveal the underbelly of Boston through profiles of ruthless
gangsters like Charles "King" Solomon, the Angiulo brothers, Joseph "The
Animal" Barboza, Stephen "The Rifleman" Flemmi and many more. Ford and
Schorow navigate the backrooms and seedy hangouts where deadly hits and
lucrative heists were hatched to guide readers to the real story of
Boston's gangster past.
All are invited to attend this free program which is supported in part
by the Friends of the Somerville Public Library. Books will be
available for purchase from The Harvard Coop Bookstore for $16.99.
Light refreshments will be served.
