Howie Carr is the New York Times best-selling author of The Brothers Bulger and Hitman. In addition, he wrote several Boston organized-crime books and two novels. Howie is also a Columnist for the Boston Herald, and has won a National Magazine Award for Boston Magazine.
Boston organized-crime boss Whitey Bulger was so infuriated by Carr's groundbreaking reporting that he once put out a murder contract on Carr, a story detailed in 2006 on 60 minutes. At his 2013 trial on murder and racketeering charges, Bulger tried to have Carr banned from the courtroom by calling him as a defense witness. Now imprisoned for life, the crime czar still says his greatest regret is not murdering Carr when he had the chance.
Carr once taught a course at Harvard, where he had to cross a picket line against himself to get to his class.
