Bernard O'Mahoney

Patrick Bernard O'Mahoney (born 15 March 1960 in Dunstable, Bedfordshire, England) is an English-born crime author of Irish descent. He served in the British Army for three years during which time he was posted to Northern Ireland. The Hunger strikes had just begun and the Province experienced the worst violence in its long violent history. He later moved to South Africa where he was employed by a private police force during the Anti Apartheid uprising/troubles. In the 80`s he returned to England where he set up home in Essex. After taking control of security at a local nightclub he formed a partnership with Tony Tucker - one of three men who were later murdered as they sat in a Range Rover. This event captured the imagination of the media and forced O`Mahoney to retire from the security industry. He then began writing books about his many experiences. Several of these books have since become best sellers and one has been made into a film.
