Plot has an interesting 70's Irish backdrop.

The fucking oppressive British, unethical behavior on Briscoe’s part, gangsters, kidnapping - and as always, murder most foul. Briscoe meets a high ranking member of the IRA and agrees to bring a letter back to NY. Next thing we know he’s being followed across countries and oceans. There are fist fights, and car chases and explosions; double and triple crosses and some bland sexy scenes.
If the story had stayed in Europe and focused on Ireland and the IRA it would most likely have been the five star story it started out as. Instead were brought back to New York, Irish Americans, love of the old country, and the weight of it all fades even as the sex and the violence kick up a notch.
It’s fine. But that’s it. Fine. I wanted to read the plight of the oppressed Irish throughout. I wanted this to be about a reporter who got sucked back into old family grudges and debts, but instead it became another detective noir. Which is fine. I just wanted more Ireland and proper IRA, none of this watered down American idealist IRA.

The IRA is alive and well in NY
