John Mooney
, 35, has reported on crime and terrorism for newspapers and broadcasters for over ten years. He is the crime correspondent with
The Sunday Times
in Ireland.
He wrote and devised
The Underworld
, a four-part documentary series broadcast on RTÉ television in 2003. He also produced
Sabhair ach Salach
, a series profiling Ireland’s richest criminals for TG4 in 2006.
When
Gangster
was first released in 2001, it went straight to number one in the bestseller charts.
His second book,
Black Operations, The Secret War Against the Real IRA
(2003), co-written with Michael O’Toole, is still considered the definitive account of the Real IRA and the 1998 Omagh bombing.
Rough Justice: Memoirs of a Gangster
(2004), which he wrote for the Dublin criminal Maurice ‘Bo Bo’ Ward, was also a bestseller.
The Torso in the Canal
(2007), his acclaimed book on the killing and dismemberment of an African immigrant by two sisters, reached number one in the bestseller charts.
Much of this book is based on evidence presented to the Special Criminal Court in the trials of Brian Meehan, Patrick Holland and John Gilligan. Other evidence was taken from the trial of Paul Ward, whose conviction for the murder of Veronica Guerin was overturned by the Court of Criminal Appeal. Information contained in some parts of the book is also derived from evidence given before properly constituted courts in Britain.
