Stephen Palmer Blake was born in 1822 in West Cambridge, MA. At the age of 15, he went to sea as a cabin boy, and by diligent performance of duty, keen intelligence and sterling honesty, he rose through all grades of sailors and officers to the responsible position of captain of a sailing vessel. He followed the sea for 35 years. He was engaged in commerce, and his business took him to almost every land. Distant cities and countries were familiar to him. He trod their soil, saw their occupations, talked with their people -- and recorded his observations in his journals. - Jacket flap.

At the beginning of Bruen’s dark tribute to the Irish fascination with the American dream, Stephen Blake is on the run after a bank heist, hoping to disappear in the desert near Tucson. Blake has the money and his girlfriend, Siobhan, knows how to launder it. All he has to do is change his accent and his skin and pass as an American. But John A. Stapleton, contract killer for the IRA, wants more than his share of the swag—and the psychotic Dade, obsessively devoted to the music of Tammy Wynette, is wandering the Southwest like a slaughter wagon. Noir master Bruen (The Guards) effortlessly moves his storyline back and forth in time, all his trademark pop-culture references in place, the banshee of existential agony wailing loudly.
