Here’s the set-up:

Michael and Alex Nicholas are brothers, but as different as night and day. Michael is CEO of a Fortune 500 company, living a comfortable life in suburban Connecticut. Alex, his older brother, heads up one of the leading loan shark and betting syndicates on the east coast. They don’t have a lot in common except a blood line, but that changes when Alex is gunned down at a restaurant in Queens.

At Alex’s funeral, surrounded by family, friends and colleagues, Michael receives a startling text. The text is from his dead brother Alex. Michael is now forced to question where his brother really is. And if Alex isn’t dead, who’s lying in the coffin?

Death Never Sleeps is an action-packed story of murder, betrayal and love.

“In Simon’s thriller, a corporate CEO takes over a gambling and loan-sharking operation from his murdered brother. His widow needs Michael’s expertise to help find a few million dollars that Alex has stashed while a thug named Sharkey, demands his payment boasting about how he could kill Michael. However, Michael finds answers by using technology that Alex left behind: an artificial intelligence, patterned after his brother’s image and personality. The story takes nerve-wracking turns . . .
