More about the book

Set in the vibrant Jazz Age of 1926 Los Angeles and Hollywood, the story follows Egan Walsh, an IRA veteran grappling with the aftermath of the Irish War of Independence. As tensions rise from a contentious treaty threatening civil war, Walsh chooses to distance himself from the conflict by fleeing to Boston rather than fighting against his former comrades. This backdrop of historical turmoil and personal struggle paints a vivid picture of a pivotal time in both Walsh's life and Irish history.
