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.

Book Summary

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.
