McGarrity (July 22, 1943 – July 4, 2002),[1] an Irish-Americancrime fiction and mysterynovelist and newspaper features writer and columnist writing on nature and outdoor recreation for The Star-Ledger. He was the author of 22 mystery novels, set in Ireland, and featuring a "resourceful police detective named Peter McGarr."[2] For his pen name, McGarrity used the name of his maternal grandfather, Bartholomew Gill, who "was a great storyteller."

McGarrity died on July 4, 2002, aged 58, from injuries sustained in a fall at his Morristown, New Jersey, home. He had forgotten his keys and attempted to enter his home by climbing through a window.[2][3] He was survived by a daughter, Madeleine, and a brother, George. He was interred in Newton Cemetery, in Newton, New Jersey, where his gravestone identifies him by both his real name and pen name, and as "author, outdoorsman, Maddie's father".[1]
