Mick Michael Letterman

It is March of 1918. After fighting the Kaiser in the first World War, a young Pat McGuire returns home to his beloved poverty and disease-stricken Ireland. He still carries the marks of the war, a bullet in his thigh that cannot be removed and horrible memories that dissipate over time. A man of action, he watches as those he loves are slowly taken from him one by one. Something inside him breaks as he wreaks vengeance on those responsible. Hunted by the British Crown, his only escape is to America where he becomes a new man, Mick Ash. He joins one of the most infamous gangs in New York. It is from here he begins his rise from a lowly criminal to one of the most powerful and respected gang leaders the city has ever seen. Love finds him again. Like Mick, Julia carries her own past. Looking forward, they begin their new life together. After an attempted hit on his family, Mick must look for a way to protect them in a world that continues to grow darker. Aided by his Colt 1911, a Catholic priest, and the will of The Little People, he begins a search that will take him full circle, where he must eventually stop running, and face the man in the mirror. Mick is a story of love and honor in a world where neither survive.
