Geoffrey Bolting — John Gardner

Geoffrey Bolting, a librarian in his fifties, has much to his surprise become a successful writer. Netflix loved his very unconventional view of history and bought his books. But he’s unhappy with the idea of fame and struggling to stay in the same dimension as everyone else while the lovely Hettie helps and supports him. But is it time to call a halt? Will his latest book, Slaughter of the Innocents (Conspiracy of War) send him permanently to a private mental clinic or will it be another smash hit and set him free?
