The Irishman

0/5 ( ratings)

April, 2010

A nihilistic assassin, a sadistic terrorist, and an American psychopath with money to burn. Guess what happens next...

Known as The Irishman, twenty-nine year old Ciaran Giles is one of the most feared contract killers in the London criminal underworld. Ciaran inhabits a world where the strong spill blood and the weak end up dead. The son of Provisional IRA terrorists, Ciaran and his father were forced to flee Northern Ireland when he was eight years old. An adolescence spent learning from war criminals and ex-spies helped him become one of the most lethal killers in the British Isles. But rather than follow in his father's footsteps, Ciaran abandoned Irish Republicanism for organized crime.

Years later, Ciaran is approached by a wealthy American for a job unlike any he has ever done before. Rather than kill someone, she wants Ciaran to teach her how to be an assassin.

While Ciaran deals with his reckless protégée, an old enemy looms in the shadows. Thomas O'Hanrahan, the same man who forced Ciaran and his father to flee Northern Ireland. Twenty years has done nothing to temper O'Hanrahan's bloodlust. Ciaran has run for as long as he can, but soon there will be nowhere left to hide. Ciaran realizes that he has only one move left:

Face his enemy head-on.
