The Killing of Major Denis Mahon A Mystery of Old Ireland by Peter Duffy investigates 1847 assassination of landlord Major Denis Mahon. It is set during the height of the Great Irish Famine. Mahon forced the eviction or displacement of over 3,000 starving tenants. Many died when forced onto disease ridden "coffin ships". Later he was shot dead in his carriage. The murder became an internationally debated incident. From Queen Victoria to the Pope, speculation abounded. The author researched private papers, police records, and court files to examine the unsolved mystery and the broader social catastrophe.
