An account of the life of Irish journalist and forger Roger Pigott, 1835-1889, Muddock has 'carefully traced the man's eventful career almost from his very cradle in the Irish capital to his disgrace in that far-off foreign city of Madrid, and the information in my possession enables me to present my readers with a story of human life as startling as anything the fictionist could evolve.' Pigott forged letters that suggested Charles Stewart Parnell of the Irish National Land League was sympathetic to the murders of Lord Frederick Cavendish and Thomas Henry Burke - when the letters were shown to be fake, Pigott fled to Madrid where he shot himself in a hotel room.
