【杀死这个爱尔兰人】则更加目标明确地，将美国70年代一位大名鼎鼎的爱尔兰黑帮分子——丹尼·格利因的传奇生平铺展开来。自视为古凯尔特人后裔的丹尼秉持着先辈“勇武、好战、高傲、不屈”的性格品质，硬是活生生地在意大利人的地盘里为自己杀出一条血路。如同“全民公敌”狄林杰一样，这位高大魁梧的爱尔兰人有着“现代罗宾汉”的美誉，他是媒体上的“明星”，受到民众的追捧，甚至和条子都成为了麻吉，然而他的不合作态度却遭到其他黑帮势力的仇视，是“黑帮公敌”。也许是受到凯尔特先辈英魂的庇佑，丹尼在屡次对他的刺杀行动中都幸免于难，并能成功地对敌人进行残暴的还击，爱尔兰人的声望至此达到极致。一位克利夫兰的年轻仰慕者为他写下赞美诗："They shot him down and blew him up With most regular persistence. Through guile and luck and skill, Danny Greene is with us still. Some day he'll die, as all we must, Some will laugh but most will cry. His legend will live on for years, To bring his friends mixed pleasure, For he has done both bad and good, And lived his life full measure." 当然，最能概括丹尼生平的一句话就是：“只要他活着，迟早都会死；一旦他死了，就永远都活着。”
