Description

"The phone rings. It’s Jesus. I listen to him speak and then hang up..."

In this darkly comic, slow-burn thriller, reality is blurred… nothing can be taken for granted.

A gripping and poignant black comedy about love, friendship, booze, morality, death… and a generation’s casual dissatisfaction with modern life. Sometimes, redemption lies in the darkest of places.

“You don’t need to die to destroy yourself.”

Killing Richard Dawson is a brilliant fast-paced story with a shocking twist. The reader is sucked into the uni student narrator's worlds as he navigates his way, with wit & humour, through the minefields of loss, friendship & unrequited love. Death is the only constant in his life, yet Robin Baker deals with it with an irreverence echoing Evelyn Waugh’s classic satire.
