Four men at the end of their ropes gather together for a road trip taking in some of the country’s favourite suicide spots. Brought together and chauffeured from bridge to bridge by The Priest, each one has a story to tell and a decision to make.
A successful writer haunted by his own success and them from the returns department.
A retiree with a drink problem and a bit of a temper reveals his inner coward with fatal consequences.
A journalist who hates his job and hopes his next career move will be his last.
A devoted son, husband and father whose world is turned upside down with some terrible home truths.
Each one of them dealt an unfair hand but...
Life is unfair. Kill yourself or get over it.

Review:

“Oozing misanthropic humour like a fresh wound, On Suicide Bridge is a nihilistic Canterbury Tales for Broken Britain.” – Oz Hardwick

“Keeping a reader onside is easy when an author writes likeable characters. Doing so while writing assholes is another matter entirely. On Suicide Bridge is brimming with assholes, but Tom Dixon makes you care about each and every one of them with skill, flair and a keen eye for characterisation..”
– Michael Logan, writer and winner of the Terry Pratchett First Novel Award.
