Al Dawson is a retired regulatory lawyer who spent his career inside the institutions his fiction examines: the Church, the courtroom, the regulatory apparatus. He understands how they work. And how they fail the people who trusted them.
His novels are built from that knowledge. Searching for Noriko (2021), a WWII story about guilt and forgiveness, earned second place at the Palm Beach Book Festival. Priest (2024), a moral thriller about institutional corruption within the Catholic Church, won Gold/First Place for Adult Fiction in the 2025 Feathered Quill Book Awards. Borderlines (2026), a political thriller about a federal prosecutor taking on a Mexican drug cartel, continues the moral universe he has been building across all three books.
Al Dawson lives in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, with his wife Jane. He publishes under Luna del Lobo Books.
