Our story begins leading up to the Easter Rising in Ireland. Seamus O' Suileabhain, having Americanized his name to James Sullivan, escapes to America with an English bounty on his head. Aided and mentored by Anegus O'Boyle, a master of disguise and the most feared man in Ireland and the British Isles. James takes up a life of crime, under the protection of the O' Boyles, who are shielded by politicians at the highest level, including in Center City, Philadelphia. Marriage to Bridget O'Boyle leads to raising a familly in the Irish section of North Philadelphia, known as Swampoodle, where James works for his American Sponser, Liam Donnelly. And under the guise of a construction foreman, James emerges as one of the most brutal and effective enforcers of the underworld in Philadelphia and Atlantic City. Our novel then focuses on a power shift during the beginning of what would be the boon of Prohibition. This saga plays out with the understanding of James Sullivan's eventual return to Ireland, to settle a personal score with the English Captain, known as, The Lion. A story of assimilation, crime, loyalty, and the power of an unshakable bond between husband and wife, James and Bridget Sullivan...
