Daniel Whitaker is a successful writer both lauded in the literary community and popular with readers but, while doing some online research about the world of paedophiles for a new book, he is arrested and charged. His life has always been a bit of a rollercoaster ride but nothing could prepare him for how his life is affected by what he maintains is a dreadful miscarriage of justice.

Eventually he decides that there is no other solution than suicide. This book, in effect, is his suicide note - explaining his life, his actions and his reasons for ending his life.

 Dan talks about his privileged upbringing, his time in Oxford, his drug and alcohol-fuelled life as a journalist and his career as a writer, as well as his attempts to clear his name. He speaks with fondness about his two children and he expresses his fears for their future. Robert Steadman's first novel is available to download on Kindle: http://amzn.to/1iOWzmn

The Red Box

by

Robert Steadman

Last night I was a contestant on a game show.

I was doing really well. The low numbers disappeared. I was left with only high value boxes.

"Are you ready for the question?"

"Yes, I'm ready."

"£50,000 - Deal or No Deal?"

"No deal!"

The audience whooped and cheered.

"Do you want to do the swap?"

"No."

I was left with one box. This was my box.

I nervously held the tab before ripping it open.

What had I won? Would it change my life?

I flipped the lid open and looked in to find my prize: Noel Edmond's decapitated head.
