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, he perhaps unwisely 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'.
As the weeks tick by, Johnny fears 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!
