Born in the slums of Dublin in 1901,his father a one-legged whorehouse bouncer and
settler of scores,Henry Smart has to grow up fast.By the time he can walk he's out robbing,begging,often cold,always hungry, but a prince of the streets.At fourteen, already six foot two,Henry's in the General Post Office on Easter Monday 1916, a soldier in the Irish Citizen Army, fighting for freedom.A year later he's ready to die for Ireland again,a rebel,a Feinian and soon,a killer.
With his father's wooden leg as his weapon,Henry becomes a republican legend
- one of Michael Collins' boys,a cop killer,an assassin on a stolen bike.A subversive look behind the legends of Irish republicanism,at its centre a passionate love story.Volume 1 of a projected trilogy: The Last Roundup.
