In this unflinching and suspenseful story, GA(c)bler takes a small slice of Irish history and brings it to life.

The Ribbonmen, a murderous secret society, retaliate, threatening French, but are overcome by the land agent's more professional tactics. A gripping and intense story based on a real and bitter incident in Irish history.First published to great acclaim in hardback by Marion Boyars in 1999.
