A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

The writing is crisp and suspenseful, and the dialogue is as sharp as ever. (John O'Connell GUARDIAN)

He [Marshall] takes a standard revenge thriller and whip-cracks it into something more satirical... this expertly constructed thriller exploits modern anxieties. (FINANCIAL TIMES)

Marshall's thriller is the perfect summer read: a high concept page-turner that is always rooted in character and the everyday... Killer Move is a forcefull, well-crafted nightmare for the modern age. (MYSTERY SCENE)

A subtle and unnerving story of the little things that can tip the balance of one's life and send it spiraling into chaos. (PUBLISHER'S WEEKLY)

'Marshall ratchets up the stakes of his deftly written suspense novel by injecting telling if somewhat paranoid commentary on how regular people can be manipulated by those with the means and ways.' (BOOKLIST)

'A mind-blowing combination of crime and horror, made all the more terrifying because the character doesn't know why it's all happening. Compelling and unnerving, it will make readers look a lot more closely at the people around them, and the startling climax will make them wonder if anyone really knows anyone.' (ROMANTIC TIMES)

It's juicy reading, and the gasp-inducing ending will leave you wishing for more. (CASCADIA WEEKLY)

Michael Marshall...has the rare ability as an author to accurately depict the world we live in, horrifying though it may be, in vivid detail. KILLER MOVE offers a franctically paced read, building up to a crescendo...another breathless modern-day thriller. (Marty Mulrooney ALTERNATIVE MAGAZINE)

Great plot, good strong characters, creatively and well written. (CRIMESQUAD.COM)

Quatrième de couverture :

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.
