Narrative:
After landing the right brake failed when I tried to apply brakes. Eventually got the aircraft slowed; but to exit the runway to the right; I had to make a left-hand 270 turn. There were aircraft landing in trail behind me and when I initiated the left-hand 270 turn the tower sent the king air around although I had exited the runway. Ground control gave me a number to call the tower. I spoke with the tower controller; who wanted to know why I had turned left instead of right to exit. I explained the brake situation; told him it was the only way for me to immediately exit the runway and that I was sorry that the king air had to go around. The controller said he understood and that there was no problem. I suppose I could have warned the controller of the issue and my intentions; but I really was trying to exit the runway as quickly as possible to avoid slowing down the incoming aircraft. All three runways at the airport were extremely busy.
