He's now in trouble with the mob boss, Tom French, who sends Git to Cork with another debtor, Bunny Kelly, to find a guy named Frank Grogan, and take him to a man with a friendly face at a shack across a bog.

Then, there's the long-ago disappearance of Sonny Mulligan. What's a decent and stand-up lad to do?
