Abstract
dc:description.abstractThe Highlands is a novel that follows the professional relationship between Detective Chase Tonne, a detective at the LMPD, and Dr. Doug Peet, a psychiatrist and fiction writer working in the Highlands neighborhood in Louisville. While struggling with addiction issues stemming from traumatic loss, Detective Tonne must undergo a psychological evaluation to retain his job at his own expense after a long suspension. As the check-ins with Dr. Peet come and go throughout Detective Tonne’s career, Dr. Peet’s own losses come into and out of focus. The boundaries of their relationship are tested throughout periods of Chase’s own life in which he struggles with his addictions, friends, co-workers, romantic partners, and his own sexuality.
