As a young man in 1960's Ireland, Gerard Mac Manus joined the Irish Army. This set in train a sequence of events that resulted in him:
-Guarding Europes borders during the Cold War
-Patrolling the meanest streets in the world as a cop in Atlanta
-Going undercover in high living and low life Florida
-Investigating the infamous Atlanta Child Murders

Among other adventures, Gerard Mac Manus nearly killed President Nixon's best friend, almost arrested one of the world's biggest rock groups at the 1969 Palm Beach Rock Festival and reluctantly found himself responsible for the security of Yitzhak Rabin, against his wishes.
Mac Manus has seen more action and witnessed more pivotal events - from the Cold War to responses to 9/11 - than most would ever dream about. His life is an Irishman's record of the violence, organised corruption, and compassion found in America and the west during the last fifty years.
Surrounded since childhood by literary and artistic achievement, but writing for the first time about his life experiences, Mac Manus digs deep into his dark times to reveal a powerful story.
