Meet the Author: Thomas J. Foley is the author of "Most Wanted."


From the Weymouth Library website:


Ever wonder what it would be like to be on the trail of Whitey Bulger?  Massachusetts State Police Colonel Thomas J. Foley  was for over 20 years, and Bulger's June 2011 capture was bittersweet moment. In his new book Most Wanted he recounts the 20-year pursuit of murderous Boston gangster Whitey Bulger, and of his role in exposing the FBI's protection of Bulger's criminal empire.   

In 2004, Thomas J. Foley was awarded the United States Attorney General’s Award for Exceptional Service for his role in the Whitey Bulger/John Connolly investigation. A career officer with the Massachusetts State Police, Col. Thomas J. Foley rose to become its highest ranking officer in 2001. Since retiring in 2004, Foley teaches criminology at the University of New Hampshire.
