The Irishman is an epic saga of organized crime in post-war America told through the eyes of World War II veteran Frank Sheeran, a hustler and hitman who worked for legendary crime boss Russell Bufalino alongside some of the most notorious figures of the 20th Century. Spanning decades, Sheeran’s story chronicles one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in American history, the disappearance of legendary union boss Jimmy Hoffa, and offers a monumental journey through the hidden corridors of organized crime: its inner workings, rivalries, and connections to mainstream politics.

Charles Brandt, who handled over fifty-six homicides as the chief deputy attorney general of Delaware, in charge of all homicides and a private homicide defense attorney in the 1970s, has now used his hands-on professional experience in murder investigation and his analytic skills to conclusively solve every secret of the homicides of JFK, Officer Tippit, and Lee Harvey Oswald in Dallas in 1963.

Dosud nepublikované svědectví o zákulisí mocenských bojů v poválečných Spojených státech. Frank Sheeran, obr s kouzlem osobnosti a výborný vypravěč se smyslem pro humor, líčí svou životní dráhu chlapce z chudé irské rodiny a posléze chladnokrevného zabijáka ve službách mafie. V sedmdesátých letech byl Sheeran alias Irčan neoficiálním bodyguardem odborářského bosse Jimmyho Hoffy, jehož následné zmizení připisovaly agenti FBI propojení s mafií. Sheeranovi se však nikdy nic prokázat nepodařilo.
