Bonded By Blood

Blood-soaked corpses and the faces of three teenagers poisoned by Ecstasy are the images that flash through Bernard O'Mahoney's mind when he closes his eyes and recalls his past. O'Mahoney was a key member of the Essex Boys firm - one of the most violent criminal gangs in Britain. In December 1995, the three leaders of the firm were executed as they sat in their Range Rover down a deserted farm track. For many, this meant that the horror of the gang's brutal reign was over. For Jack Whomes and Michael Steele, the nightmare had just begun. Convicted of the murders on the word of a supergrass, these two men have spent a decade in prison for crimes they claim they did not commit. In 2006 they failed in their attempt to have their convictions overturned by the Court of Appeal but they have now asked for their case to be reviewed by the House of Lords. In "Bonded by Blood", O'Mahoney goes back to exorcise his ghosts and lay the past to rest. He returns to the scene of the murders and relives the bloody encounters that marked his time as a gang member.Divided by greed, bonded by the blood of their victims, the Essex Boys' rise to the top of the criminal underworld was as dramatic as their final fall.
