Overview

'From ghoulies and ghosties and long-leggedy beasties, and things that go bump in the night, Lord, deliver us.' That unique prayer is at the heart this 41,000 word novel of magical realism wrapped around the half-forgotten legacy of San Francisco's notorious Irish Hill and descendants who still live in the adjacent Dogpatch neighborhood. Irish Hill is a story of love lost and reclaimed for Jerry Larkin and his childhood sweetheart, the fiery Mae Bannon. It's a story of Irish cops like Jerry's father 'Sarge' Larkin and street corner justice. And it's the story of whiskey-swigging former golf hustler and banshee whisperer Granny Cavanaugh. This is also a brief history of Irish Hill itself, a very special place that was literally bulldozed out of existence a century ago and yet maintains a powerful hold on the descendants of those few thousand immigrants of Irish Hill. There's hooliganism and heroics, beat cops, beatniks, bookies and barflies aplenty as the story follows the intertwined lives and loves of three generations of the Larkin, Bannon and O'Boyle clans. And it's the story of one particularly unpleasant banshee named Mathilda who fled from her old world exile to the New World and wreaked havoc from the notorious 'Blue Mud Wars' fought in the mud, beer and blood on Irish Hill for control of the brothels and beer halls.
