Boston Globe reporter Emily Sweeney will take us on a tour of Boston's organized crime underworld, revealing the places where deals were made, people were killed, and bodies were buried. Travel 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 streets.

**SPECIAL GUESTS** Emily will be joined by Casey Sherman and Dave Wedge, authors of the new book, "Hunting Whitey: The Inside Story of the Capture & Killing of America's Most Wanted Crime Boss." Casey and Dave are one of the premier nonfiction writing teams telling stories out of Boston. Together, they co-wrote the definitive story of the Boston Marathon bombings in "Boston Strong: A City’s Triumph Over Tragedy," which was adapted for the Mark Wahlberg film Patriots Day. They also wrote "Ice Bucket Challenge: Pete Frates and the Fight against ALS," which is in development as a feature film, and the New York Times bestselling "12: The Inside Story of Tom Brady’s Fight for Redemption."
