Jimmy Irish is the true story of one man’s fearless courage whilst working undercover to infiltrate the most feared of criminal organisations: the Mafia. On behalf of every decent, law-abiding American, Jimmy Mullan put his own life on the line as every single day and night he rubbed shoulders with the Mob’s killers, drug dealers, extortionists, thieves and loan sharks.
But for Mullan it wasn’t just the Mafia that posed danger. On two occasions during undercover operations, his life came under threat after bent cops sold information to the Mob about his infiltration of their organisation. The enemy was, indeed, working from within.
Mullan also documents his fight against political intrigue and interference after uncovering damning evidence relating to senior government officials, and how he endeavoured to protect friends who had become embroiled in the Mafia’s money-making scams.
In this blistering account of one of New York’s most highly regarded undercover cops, Mullan recounts the previously top-secret operations that he carried out at the heart of the Mafia and reveals how he survived to tell his story.
