Thriller The Island of Bolay- press here for media info

"Feels as if it was penned by Frederick Forsyth - ingeniously constructed, tense and correct in every detail.  Dixon's tightly crafted prose moves quickly through a series of plots, subplots and flashbacks.  From the opening pages the narrative grabs readers by the lapels and pulls them into a world of deception, murder and romance. Definitely take this one to the seaside this summer."   Woman Alive magazine

The Truth about Drugs- September 1998

Entire text online - browse it now for free Huge media coverage following launch of this hard-hitting, controversial analysis of addiction - tobacco, alcohol, illegal drugs and the rest: the impact on families, employers, society, economy and government.

Financial Times, Press Association, Reuters, Sky News, BBC Today Programme and PM programme, Radio 5 Live, Talk Radio, GMTV, ITV morning chat show, Guardian, Daily Telegraph, Daily Express, Daily Express, Scottish Herald, Northern Echo... the list goes on.

Main story:  drunken and doped doctors are killing patients - need for drug testing at work, not just for doctors.  drug testing becoming a main weapon in fight against addiction in US with many other countries about to follow.  Feature article.

Second story: 1.5 million pupils in Britain have already taken an illegal drug.   Every school affected.  What can be done?  Press Release.

Drug-related killings on the street, countries destabilised, young lives wrecked, company productivity and profits hit, accidents at work, tragic deaths. Police chiefs and judges say the drugs war is lost. Every day calls to soften the law get louder. At the same time, the worst predictions have turned out to be scare stories. So what is the truth? What should we expect? How should we respond? Dr Dixon takes a hard look at the facts and argues for urgent action, starting at school and in the workplace.

"Addiction is far more serious than most people realise but the good news is that treatment works. There are many practical steps that can be taken to tackle the problem." Dr Dixon concludes with a ten point plan for the government and a practical way forward for parents, teachers and others concerned about addiction.

"The Truth about Drugs" is published by Hodder and Stoughton.

This important book takes us behind the sleaze headlines to ask what life is really like at Westminster, the mother of all Parliaments? Inside 10 Downing Street on the first day of research, Dr Dixon found that he had open access to the heart of power.

He swiftly found himself in battles with libel lawyers and powerful figures in public life who feared disclosure. Thousands of pounds later, with a new publisher, "The Truth about Westminster" finally rolled off the presses.

One former Minister said:

"In a dictatorship I would have been bumped off - I knew too much.  Instead I was sacked"

"MPs confessed things to me that made my hair stand on end, The rot is deep and a change of government won't be enough to root it all out."

"Few MPs are corrupt but the system itself is corrupting, and encourages secrecy together with abuse of power. Most people regard politicians with contempt. Unless Westminster thoroughly reforms itself the place will die, losing powers to Europe on the one hand and to Scottish and other regional assemblies on the other."

Huge media coverage followed launch of this book. Along with the social, emotional and health costs, Patrick Dixon has actually calculated the financial price of modern morals, with help from the UK government's Actuary Department. He argues that in some parts of Western society, the pendulum is swinging back so fast towards traditional values that government policy is often totally out of step with popular thinking.

Drawing on his highly respected work in AIDS care, Dr Dixon's controversial new study explores how the fresh excitement of freedom turned sour. Including a ten point action plan for society it shows the way for everyone to get involved in cutting the escalating cost of free love.
