Forensic Psychiatrist David Laing Dawson Releases His Latest Thriller Don't Look Down

Sept. 22, 2009 - PRLog -- Frank has just completed a mandatory ten year sentence in a Federal Prison for manslaughter. He is remanded for an assessment in the Forensic Ward of a Psychiatric Hospital. On this ward Frank shares a four bed room with Joseph, a man suffering from severe depression and delusions of jealousy, David, a young schizophrenic man, and Henry Thornton, 81 years of age, sometimes confused, and possibly guilty of the mercy killing of his companion and lover.

Dawson explores the comedy as well as the tragedy of these four lives as they intersect in a dramatic way in a place none of them wishes to be.

This story has the ring of truth and insight only an insider can provide. And though the characters and events are tragic, the author finds many moments of shared humanity, warmth and good humor.

Three of Dawson's previous novels, Last Rights, Double Blind, and Essondale, have been published in seven European countries, the US and the UK. Dawson's last novel, Slide in All Direction, has been described as a cross between Elmore Leonard and Seinfeld and as close to reality as it gets.
