“A terrific browse.” -Kansas Town Star

The Irishman is an epic saga of organized crime in post-war America told through the eyes of Globe Battle II veteran Frank Sheeran, a hustler and hitman who worked for legendary crime boss Russell Bufalino alongside some of the most notorious figures from the 20th Century. Spanning years, Sheeran’s tale chronicles one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in American history, the disappearance of legendary union employer Jimmy Hoffa, and it provides a monumental journey through the hidden corridors of arranged criminal offense: its internal workings, rivalries and cable connections to mainstream politics. Sheeran would rise to a posture of such prominence that in a RICO suit against The Payment of La Cosa Nostra, the government would name him as one of just two non-Italians in conspiracy using the Commission rate. Sheeran is shown alongside the likes of Anthony “Tony Pro” Provenzano and Anthony “Fat Tony” Salerno.

In the course of nearly five many years of documented interviews, Sheeran confessed to Charles Brandt that he handled more than twenty-five hits for the mob, and Brandt turned Sheeran’s story into a page-turning true crime classic.
