How to Murder a Man

First edition. 8vo. Pp. [x], 373. Black cloth, lettered in gilt to spine; charcoal endpapers. Author's Note.

Signed by Gébler to title-page.

Inspired by a true story which took place in nineteenth-century Co. Monaghan, a fight to the death between tenant farmers and overseer landlords. Another gripping and disturbing tale, underpinned by detailed and thorough research, in the author's series of historical novels examining social conditions in nineteenth-century Ireland.

The offspring of two writers, Carlo Gébler published a poignant autobiography, Father and I: a memoir (2000), about Czech-Irish writer Ernest Gébler, while his relationship with his mother, emblematic Irish author Edna O'Brien, could best be described as 'strained'. "A meticulous and absorbing historical fiction." –The Observer
