The author Melvin Burgess assisted by Peter Garsden of Abney Garsden McDonald Solicitors, who run the largest dedicated department of specialised child abuse compensation solicitors in the U.K, has just launched his new novel, Nicholas Dane. His most substantial book to date, this compelling story of a teenager caught in a corrupt 1980s Care Home is a powerful study of a particularly highly-charged and distressing subject. Handled with great sensitivity and engrossing narrative drive, it is an important addition to the understanding of how childcare can go so wrong.
