When I read the synopsis of KILLER MOVES I fell in love with
the storyline immediately. It reminded me of the great
novels that were printed in the 80's -- the years of excess
where everyone lived over their means and
made no bones about it and everything was over the top.
The main character Bill Moore was, in my opinion, perfectly
written. From his job -- as a slick and not always honest
real estate agent engrossed in all the trappings of wealth
he happily
identifies with. We get the feeling that this guy just wants
more, more, more and expects life to simply hand him
everything on a silver platter.
Except that pretty quickly things start unraveling and Moore
does not seem to have any control over it.
While Moore is certainly the central character, the city of
Florida -- extremely well represented and detailed by the
author is, without a doubt, the second star of this book.
As we find ourselves in the world of high finance and real
estate, where money is paid for a lot more than condos, we
are taken for a ride through the seedy underworld of those
with money and of those who want more of it.
KILLER MOVE is extremely well paced with action and unexpected
turns. I loved that I was never quite sure where the author
was taking us until we actually got there and I loved the
central theme of redemption that can be found -- if only you
are willing to do what needs to be done to come out
healthier and happier at the other 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 good marriage, a beautiful house . . . and a
five-year plan for super-success that he's just kicked into
high gear. Then one morning he arrives at work to find a
card waiting for him with a one-word message: Modified And
Bill's life begins to change—small, barely detectable
differences at first, but soon things begin unwinding
rapidly. Then people all around him start to die. Someone,
somewhere, has a very different plan for Bill's future. And
as he's about to learn, fighting back may prove futile, even
deadly. Because once your life has been modified, there's no
going back.
