When a woman’s body is found on a lonely bush track, Martin becomes the prime suspect—for the simple crime of walking his dog in the wrong place at the wrong time.
But Martin’s loyal dog, Bill, knows something the police don’t. The murder has jolted loose strange, vivid nightmares…memories of a life when he wasn’t a dog at all, but a man somehow tied to the dead woman.
With his master’s freedom on the line, Bill slips his leash, bolts from the backyard, and follows his nose back into danger. To save Martin, he’ll have to sniff out clues the humans miss, piece together the mystery of his past life, and catch a killer who’s still out there in the bush.
A twisty, darkly funny mystery with a very good boy at its heart, New Life for a Dead Man is perfect for readers who like crime fiction with a supernatural twist, loyal dogs, and a dash of Australian bush life.

About The Author
Paul Mahoney writes under the pen name PM Mahoney because someone else had already published using his name (how weird is that?) He is an accomplished author who loves writing romantic comedies and mysteries.
In 2020, Paul was also awarded a certificate from the Premier of Queensland for his quick action in helping to save the life of an elderly lady.
As well as being an author, he is also a screenwriter who has had one feature film, Ruby's Choice (2022), made which starred the iconic Jane Seymour (Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman). That movie led to him becoming a Global Ambassador for the Dementia Foundation's Spark of Life program, reflecting his commitment to improving dementia care through storytelling and advocacy.
Paul has had several other feature screenplays optioned and is hopeful that further films will be made in the future. His work has earned international recognition, including awards from prestigious screenwriting competitions such as the Euroscript Award in London, the Pasadena International Film Festival and the Faith & Family Script Showcase in Los Angeles.
