The Winter Hill Gang

Most of Howie’s non-fiction books were about the Winter Hill Gang, specifically about brothers Whitey and Billy Bulger. He released his books a few months before Whitey Bulger was arrested, having been on the run for 16 years. He initially wrote the book intrigued by the dynamic of the politician and gangster brothers, and believed that Whitey Bulger wanted him dead, and had tried to kill him several times because of him writing the story of the brothers. He took considerable precautions to keep both Whitey and another gangster, Weeks off of his tail.

He mentioned later in an interview that he started mixing up his routine so that he couldn’t get caught. He drove different ways every evening to get home, and parked in a space from which he could get away quickly. He stopped meeting face-to-face with anyone he didn’t know, and stayed out of bars. He even occasionally slept somewhere other than his home. Due to his fame, local cops usually kept an eye on his house. Eventually, Whitey was caught while Weeks disappeared, but Howie stayed very cautious for years until the disappearance of Weeks.
