Die Twice: The Business of Dying and The Murder Exchange

The Murder Exchange

When ex-mercenary Max Iversson agreed to provide security for nightclub owner Roy Fowler, he never expected a bloodbath. Three men have been shot, the briefcase Iversson was guarding is empty...and now he wants to know why. So begins a dangerous hunt for answers that will take him into direct conflict with Detective Sergeant John Gallan, who is investigating the mysterious death of one of Fowler's doormen, and toward a confrontation that neither is likely to escape unscathed.

The Business of Dying

Cynical and jaded, Detective Sergeant Dennis Milne earns money on the side by doing what he does best: punishing the bad guys. But this time he's been duped and instead of blowing away drug dealers, he kills three innocent men, setting off a war of morality that could leave him broken, or worse...dead.

Simon Kernick’s The Business of Dying, The Murder Exchange, and The Crime Trade have all won him popular and critical acclaim. He was recently shortlisted for the CWA Ian Fleming Steel Dagger for best British thriller of 2005. He lives with his wife and two children near London, England.
