After serving as a Navy signaller during the Second World War Hyland became a research librarian at the House of Commons. He acquired a thorough knowledge of both the workings of Parliament and the structure of the Palace of Westminster, which he put to good use in the first of three thrillers he wrote, Who Goes Hang? (1938), about an ancient corpse discovered in the clock tower of Big Ben.
While a British TV producer for the BBC, Hyland worked on most of Prime Minister Harold Wilson's broadcasts from 1964 to 1970.
