When James Rogers is ninety-three minutes late to farewell his mother on her deathbed, he's riddled with guilt. To make up for that missed final conversation - and in the hopes of impressing beautiful nurse Sophie - he engages in some good-willed acts of deception: posing as the neglectful relatives of lonely old people in the Betty Page Aged Cared Home. But when he meets Tamara, a frail and sick 76-year-old with a son she hasn't seen in twelve years, who will really be deceiving who? The Good Son is a story about people fulfilling each other's needs, sometimes unexpectedly. It is about love and fear and relationships, and how we treat the elderly people in our lives. And it is about the difference between blood relatives and the families that we make by choice rather than by birth. And, like all good stories, it involves a road trip.

Autorenporträt
Greg Fleet is an actor, comedian, broadcaster, and author. Born in Michigan, his family moved to Victoria when he was aged four. He studied at Geelong Grammar School for 12 years and then attended NIDA for a year before being expelled. His acting career began opposite Nicole Kidman in 1984 and he went on to star in Prisoner (as Delivery Man No 2), Underbelly: Squizzy (as Richard Buckley, Australia's most violent prisoner), and Neighbours (his character killed the much-loved character Daphne), as well as treading the boards as Feste in Shakespeare's Twelfth Night for the Melbourne Theatre Company, and developing a stand-up career that saw him acclaimed all over the world. Both here and in the UK, his comedy across TV, film, radio, and theater, and the honesty with which he speaks about his long-term drug addiction, has made him one of the most respected, beloved and in-debt stand-up comics around. Greg Fleet's hilarious and harrowing memoir, These Things Happen, was published in 2015.
