New book: The Insanity Inspectors

1858.
The first Lunacy Commissioners are appointed.
Scotland's 'insanity inspectors' travel the country, deciding who can stay at home and who needs to be committed to an asylum. Their task is a difficult one, for not every lunatic can be classified as insane and not everyone who is insane is a lunatic.
Lennox Cameron, a new inspector, juggles his time between the intense role of inspecting the shocking conditions in which lunatics live in the Scottish Highlands, and living with his opportunistic aunt and uncle, a couple trying to scheme their way into Edinburgh's polite society.
As the search for the causes and cures for insanity become more desperate, Lennox finds that the lines between what is right and what needs to be done become blurred. He is forced to make decisions about his sanity and his future. It is the price he will pay for being an honourable man, choosing purpose over achievement in his work as a physician,
Dr Peter Baird has darker motives for treating the insane. He has found a reliable way to profit from lunacy. In the end he will pay a different price.
This story is based on real cases and true events.
