What is Terrible angel : a novel of Michael Collins in New York about?

On August 22, 1922, Michael Collins was assassinated at Beal na mBlath in County Cork. The charismatic Collins was 31 years old and the leader of the Irish Free State. In the previous six years he had been busy: He fought in the 1916 Easter Rebellion, invented the IRA, financed the new Irish state, assassinated the entire British Secret Service in Dublin, and negotiated the treaty that drove the British out of twenty-six counties of Ireland for the first time in 700 years. Terrible Angel, Dermot McEvoy's suspenseful and lightning-paced romp through New York's streets, finds Collins 70 years after his bloody death desperately seeking to make amends for his violent life by completing one last worldly mission: springing a wrongly accused Irishman from the clutches of the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service, the British MI-5, and a certain life sentence in a British jail. You'll meet a cast of characters who entertain, frighten, and amaze: Tommy Butler-a 275-pound bartender at Greenwich Village's famed Lion's Head saloon, who can tell a tale and handle a thug with equal ease. Earl Holder-a black retired detective first grade, NYPD, with a nose for intelligence and a passion for
