Editor's Note:
“Don’t Talk About Joe Mac is much more than a true-crime gore fest that reveals where the bodies are buried. McDonald’s story is interspersed with that of his daughter, Jackie, who gave Mr. Toledo her blessing and spoke about her life with unflinching honesty ... Jackie wrestled with her family trauma, and personal tragedies of her own, but never lost hope or her sense of humor. She tells Mr. Toledo that their interviews for the book have been helpful. 'I understand him now and have forgiven him and my mother. Still, the thought of seeing them in the afterlife is what keeps me from suicide.'“'Joe Mac' is a stirring, lyrical work of nonfiction, written with as much empathy as the best fiction. Mr. Toledo never passes judgment on McDonald, but neither does he minimize, let alone excuse, what the man did. This is the criminal life in all its brute indifference, shorn of glamour and Hollywood sentimentality." —The Wall Street Journal"Don't Talk About Joe Mac is beautiful." —Eddie Muller, TCM's host of Noir Alley "The last of the great Boston Mob books." —Howie Carr, New England's undisputed talk radio king "Brutal, masterfully written, unrelenting in its excavation of fresh information, and with startling disclosures, this book may be the best portrait of a certain type of twentieth century American street mobster ever to appear in print. Get this book now." —T.J. English, New York Times bestselling author "In 40 years of reporting true crime, organized and otherwise, never have I read a book like this." —Ron Gollobin, five-time Emmy award-winning investigative reporterForget what you think you know about Whitey Bulger and the Winter Hill Gang; this, at long last, is the ruthless truth of the Boston underworld and the mysterious "Joe Mac," his tragic origins, unsolved murders, and the daughter who broke his silence.In 2020, author Springs Toledo set out to find a ghost in the Boston underworld whose name can end a conversation—what he found is startling. Don't Talk About Joe Mac is a true crime biography that reads like noir fiction, a journey through a shadow society as bizarre as it was impenetrable, and an expose that will upend the official narrative animating United States v. James J. Bulger (2013).Joe McDonald (1917-1997), a World War II veteran and father of five, was also the most revered career criminal in the region and its most prolific killer. He founded the Winter Hill Gang in the 1950s, became the bogeyman of the infamous Gangland War of the 1960s, and was among the FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitives in the 1970s, and yet his name was barely mentioned and his exploits only whispers. This is his story ... a story you were never supposed to know.
