9781840185935: The Dream Solution

Synopsis

At their sensational trial 21 year-old Michelle and 18 year-old Lisa Taylor were convicted of murdering Alison Shaughnessy, who's husband Michelle had been having an affair with. Having served less than one year they were released, thanks to a campaign by Bernard O'Mahoney, who having witnessed the trial was convinced a major miscarriage of justice had occurred. Following their release O'Mahoney sat down with the sisters to write a book about their ordeal and soon he and Michelle began an affair. His suspicions were, however, raised by Michelle's obsessive behaviour and when he tried to finish the affair he stumbled across an incriminating letter. After a confrontation Michelle confessed her guilt. The sisters fought for years in the high court to gag O'Mahoney, but he won. This volume tells the story of his two crusades, the first to prove the sister's innocence, the second to be allowed to tell the world of their guilt.

About the Author

Bernard O'Mahoney was born in Dunstable in 1960. He served for three years in the army and saw a tour of duty in Northern Ireland's so-called 'bandit country' when republicans were dying on hunger strike. His book about that period, Soldier of the Queen (also written with Mick McGovern), was published by Brandon books in 2000. Since then he has travelled extensively and worked in the building and security industries. Renouncing a criminal past, he wrote about his experiences of the dark side of the nightclub world in the best-selling So This Is Ecstasy?, published in 1997 by Mainstream. This was updated and reprinted in 2000 under the title Essex Boys to coincide with the release of the film of the same name. Mick McGovern was born in London in 1962. After studying Politics at Leicester University, he trained as a journalist on the Wolverhampton Express and Star, then worked as a casual reporter on the current-affairs TV programme This Week. Since then he has made documentaries, written for The Observer and New Statesman, and spent a period in the BBC's Drama Serials Department. He was co-author of Killing Rage - the autobiography of former IRA supergrass Eamon Collinspublished by Granta Books in 1997. (Eamon Collins was subsequently murdered by the IRA.) He was also co-author of Soldier of the Queen with Bernard O'Mahoney.
