During the 1990's Boston was a world leader in arts, culture,
higher education, and medicine. It was also a world leader in
organized crime. In this exciting account, former FBI supervisory
special agent David Nadolski tells the story of an unlikely
alliance between two diametrically opposed people-the con and the
FBI agent. While investigating a break-in at the Stone Library in
Quincy, MA that houses the personal book collection of John Quincy
Adams, the FBI gets a call from prison inmate, Anthony (Tony)
Romano, requesting to meet with the case agent on the burglary.
Romano provides a helpful tip that leads to the apprehension of the
thief and the recovery of four priceless, historically significant
books. Recognizing Tony's potential as an informant, Nadolski
begins to cultivate a relationship in hopes of recruiting Romano as
a criminal informant. Nadolski recruits Romano to play a very
dangerous game-infiltrate the Merlino gang, controlled by Carmello
Merlino, a career criminal who specialized in bank robberies,
armored car robberies, and home invasions. The Merlino gang also
became suspects in the largest art theft in history which took
place at the Isabella Stuart Gardner Museum in Boston and remains
unsolved to this day. Romano, a former armed robber, agrees. With
sights set on the Loomis Fargo Armored Car Company money vault,
located south of Boston, the Merlino gang gets to work. Little did
they know, Romano, at great personal risk, was a wearing a wire and
recording their planning sessions. After two years of being joined
at the hip and learning to trust each other unconditionally,
special agent Nadolski and Romano run a successful criminal
investigation and undercover sting operation to catch four
dangerous criminals poised to launch one of the biggest armed
robberies of the twentieth century.
