Synopsis

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.

A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

“Michael Marshall...is one of those writers who can propel readers along with a rocketing, inventive plot, then stop them cold with a brilliant descriptive line that demands repeated reading....A compelling plot, characters who are completely believable and unforgettable, and sharp, smart insights into the nature of modern life.” (New Orleans Times-Picayune)

“A spooky, mysterious, suspenseful thriller, the kind that keeps you on the edge throughout.” (Acadiana LifeStyle magazine (New Iberia, LA) on BAD THINGS)

“Marshall builds up suspense slowly . . . Black Ridge – like the Maine towns populated by Stephen King’s characters – is not a place you want to visit.” (Booklist on BAD THINGS)

“This spooky tale shows Marshall...has a knack not only for the frisson of dread but also the telling psychological insight.” (Publishers Weekly on BAD THINGS)

“This is a psychological thriller guaranteed to keep you up at nights.” (Arcadian Lifestyle)

“A jaw-dropping mystery that makes a hairpin turn on nearly every page.” (Entertainment Weekly (Grade A, EW “pick”) on THE INTRUDERS)

“A genuinely scary thriller with satisfyingly malevolent villains.” (The Sun Herald (Australia))

“[T]his book knows how to tighten your innards. Marshall anchors your sympathy with his characters, and then unravels them in subtle ways with every turn of the screw. ” (www.blogcritics.com)

“[Marshall’s] plots lead straight into the dark woods and have a spooky and paranoid edge....The Intruders...never relents in its own, cold conviction that there is someone dangerous out there.” (Hobart Mercury (Australia))

“A well-told thriller... [that] has several unexpected curves along the way.” (Crimespree Magazine on THE INTRUDERS)

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.
