Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"What O'Malley accomplishes in The Beat Cop is a highly readable, lush, adventurous examination of Chief O'Neill as a whole person, not just as the collector for the Irish musicians' Bible. The stories of O'Neill's adventures are entertaining and enjoyable, and O'Malley's writing is welcoming to both informed insiders and newcomers." * Sean Williams, coauthor of Bright Star of the West: Joe Heaney, Irish Song-Man *
