Books like White devil by Bob Halloran
John Willis—known in criminal circles as "White Devil"—was sentenced in 2013 to prison for drug trafficking and money‑laundering offenses, after leading a vast conspiracy within the Chinese mafia. Willis’s rise began as an enforcer; his early life was marked by hardship, including the death of his mother when he was 16, and a pivotal rescue that led him into the world of Chinese and other Asian organized crime in Boston. As the sole white member to ascend to a leadership position, his story offers a rare look at the intersection of race, crime, and the inner workings of an ethnic gang.
