On Thursday, Sept. 7 at 7:30 p.m., at Warwick’s Books in La Jolla, Lawton will sign and read from the book, where readers of Irish history, true crime, and courtroom drama will learn the story of Irish refugee Kevin Barry Artt, whose life parallels the history of the modern Troubles. Narrative nonfiction book “ABOVE THE GROUND: A True Story of the Troubles in Northern Ireland,” published by WildBlue Press, features debut author (and San Diego attorney) Dan Lawton’s deep dive into the story of the false conviction of an innocent man for an Irish Republican Army murder, and his daring escape from the Maze prison amid the grim and bloody conflict known as the Troubles during the early 1980s in Northern Ireland. "ABOVE THE GROUND: A True Story of the Troubles in Northern Ireland" is a gripping chronicle of one of the darkest periods in Northern Ireland's history. It is a tale of survival and redemption of an innocent man against all odds. Themes of injustice, perseverance, and hope emerge in the story of Artt's escape and struggle against an unjust legal system and two mighty legal adversaries – the British and U.S. governments. Lawton's short fiction, essays, and columns have appeared in The Recorder, Los Angeles Daily Journal, The Pensive Quill, The Daily Transcript, and Sheepshead Review. Dan, a practicing lawyer, is a shareholder with the San Diego office of Klinedinst PC, where he practices with the firm’s appellate practice and commercial litigation groups.
