Despite making a very good lifestyle from selling condos in
the Florida Keys to the very rich, Realtor Bill Moore wants
to be in on the action and have even more. Filled with
motivational messages and his own self-importance, Bill
lusts after the wealth and lifestyles of his well to do
clients and set for himself a five year game plan to be
really rich, now 18 months overdue and with little change
on the horizon.
Always ready to weigh the consequences of oneupmanship,
Bill is initially flippant about getting notices with the
single word -- Modified -- on it. Yet after relatively
harmless random events start to happen to him, his life
suddenly is plunged in a serious downward spiral. As his
computer sends false messages that disrupt his life and his
wife uncharacteristically stays out of touch, Bill realizes
that someone else now has a different agenda for his life.
Caught in a mysterious web of reality changing lies,
further complicated by an ex-prisoner seeking revenge on
the people who framed him, Bill is definitely getting
action - just not the kind he wanted. Is there anyone that
he can trust? Can he find a way to escape?
After reading KILLER MOVE, the latest fast-paced thriller
from New York Times best-selling author Michael Marshall,
you will soon be freaking if you see the word "Modified"
cross your path! While some readers initially may be as
frustrated and confused as Bill Moore is at what is going
on, Marshall's brilliantly conceived plot and characters
soon pull you right into the action as the story moves from
the seemingly ordinary to the unimaginable, yet realistic
horror. Through the character's thoughts and action,
Marshall cleverly highlights how ruthlessly communication
technologies can be used to turn against you. Thriller fans
are sure to find this a hellishly good read!
Stephen King hailed Michael Marshall's novel Straw Men as “a
masterpiece . . . brilliantly written and scary as hell.”
Now, Marshall returns with this latest unnerving tale—a
creepy, fast-paced thriller that grips you from the first
page straight through to its shocking end.
Bill Moore already has a lot, but he wants more . . . much
more.
He's got a lucrative job selling condos in the Florida Keys,
a successful wife, a good marriage, a beautiful house. He
also has a five-year plan for supersuccess, but that plan
has begun to drag into its sixth year without reaping its
intended rewards. So now Bill's starting to mix it up—just a
little—to accelerate his way into the future that he knows
he deserves.
Then one morning Bill arrives at work to find a card waiting
for him, with no indication who it's from or why it was
sent. Its message is just one word: modified.
From that moment on, Bill's life begins to change.
At first, nothing seems very different. But when things
begin to unwind rapidly, and one after another, people
around Bill start to die, it becomes increasingly clear that
someone somewhere has a very different plan for Bill's
future. Confused and angry, Bill begins to fight against
this unseen force until he comes to a terrifying,
inescapable realization: Once modified, there's no going back.
