Paperback. There are violent events and murders in the history of every country and Ireland is no exception. Through the years, it has had its share of violent murders including the murder of its most famous victim, Ellie Hanley or the 'Colleen Bawn', and the murder of Tom Nevin, victim of a 'hit' organised by his wife. The author presents a series of murders which have occurred in Ireland in the years from the beginning of the 19th century to the end of the 20th century - acts of insanity, malevolence, hatred, revenge, desperation, greed and passion, when for someone, somewhere, taking the life of another has seemed the only solution. 191pp. p/back.
