My 56

 Without moving from where he stood, Michael looked around, his eyes scanning the large bedroom. He looked at Samantha. “He’s not here. There’s no one here.”

The voice echoed through the room again. “Oh, but you’re wrong, Michael. I was here before you moved the furniture against the door.”

Creep you out yet? It did, me! I’m really enjoying this one.

Synopsis

The problem with Alex Nicholas is that he won’t stay dead.

Alex Nicholas was the consummate Queens bookie: fast cars and even faster women, and friends in all the wrong places. As an illegal sports betting and loan shark king in New York City, Alex was fearless-until the night his luck ran out and someone leveled the silver barrel of an automatic on him and pulled the trigger.

Michael Nicholas was everything his brother Alex was not: a powerful, married straight-arrow corporate CEO living the American Dream. Their two worlds collide when Michael discovers his brother’s secret laptop.

As Michael crosses the globe to find his brother’s murder, can he avoid his brother’s fate? And can the information contained in the laptop help Alex reach out to help Michael-from beyond the grave.

  1. I’m liking the sound of that one – just that excerpt reminds me of A Pleasure and a Calling by Phil Hogan about a man who lives in other people’s houses – truly creepy!
