    About this ebook

    Simon and Silver are two ends of the spectrum when it comes to their lives. One is a classic gentleman thief living in a modern world and the other is an abandoned kid just trying to survive in an alleyway. “The Info Broker” introduces the gentlemen thief, Simon, as he interacts with a new face and takes on a heist. “Dark Day” then switches it up with young Silver as he endures a tragedy with his friend. “Simon At Work” reintroduces Simon on a simpler, easier heist, as he questions his status and situation. The final story, “Fateful Meeting” follows an older Silver as he meets a new stranger in his neighborhood that might change his life forever.
