About This Book
Michael and Samantha Nicholas live a quiet, upscale life in Westport, Connecticut. Michael is the very successful CEO of a New York City based financial services company. He and Samantha have one daughter.
Michael's older brother, Alex, and his wife, Donna, live a hectic life in Queens. Alex owns one of the largest illegal bookmaking and loansharking operations on the East Coast. He has a son and two ex-wives.
When Alex is murdered at his favorite Queens restaurant, the lives of the Nicholas families are turned upside down. At Alex's funeral—with his body lying just twenty feet away—Michael's world is further upended when he receives a text purporting to be from Alex.
From the streets of New York City to Paris, Saint-Tropez, Rome, and Florence, Michael begins a world-wide journey to find Alex's killer. As his search progresses, he becomes more and more immersed in his brother's world, a world he'd always feared.
Even as Michael begins to find answers, one question remains: Is Alex really dead?
