LOVE OR NOTHING
A new novel, Love or Nothing, is in progress - Johnny Tinder, a former local journalist, has set himself up as a private investigator. However, before he starts his new career, not only does he need to 'find himself', he also decides to track down his old flame, Catherine, ten years after they had split. Someone whom he still regards as the 'love of his life'.
His search rapidly becomes a disturbing journey of deceit and betrayal, of heartbreak and despair, both in the search to establish his true identity and in the quest to find his lost love.
As the weeks tick by, Johnny's major fear is that Catherine will rebuke him as soon as he attempts to walk back into her life. However, as he finally summons up the courage to knock on her door, he stumbles upon a scenario much, much worse than that!
