Living with Johnny by Nigel Gordon

[Nigel Gordon]

Mike Carlton, the older brother of film star Ben Carlton is enjoying a peaceful life in the backwaters of Essex working as a technical writer, writing articles for scientific publications together with the occasional none fiction book. He lives in a small bungalow and has a ongoing relationship with Anne, the barmaid from the local pub, who also cleans for him. For over ten years Mike has been happy with his life. Then at two in the morning, there is incessant hammering at his front door, when he opens it he finds his ex-wife and their fifteen year old son on the doorstep. Her only words are "He's your problem". After that Mike's life changes completely and he finds himself in a world where he is not sure he is in control.
