Taking Lives (Destins Viol's) by Michael Pye

Taking Lives (Destins Viol's) by Michael Pye

Martin Arkenhout found his true calling on a lonely Florida highway -- with a sharp rock to the skull of an injured friend. He didn't just take the boy's life; he went on to live it. When that life became too risky, he found another, and another, changing his name, papers and style at will, until he chose the wrong life -- a scholarly thief on the run from the determined and troubled John Costa. The two men will meet, and there will be murder. But there is something much worse: the sweet seduction of taking another's life to be your own. Chillingly suspenseful, brilliantly executed and truly disturbing, Taking Lives is an entertainment to make you think and shiver.

Michael Pye works as a author, journalist, historian, and broadcaster for a living. By birth, he is English, but a study in Italy and a newspaper apprenticeship in Scotland have civilized him. He worked as a political and cultural journalist for British publications for 20 years, commuting between New York and Europe. He now lives in a little community in the Portuguese countryside with his partner John Holm. He has eight books to his credit, including The Cinema Brats, co-authored with Lynda Myles, which was the first major study of what the Scorsese generation did to Hollywood; King Over The Sea, which uncovered the Duke of Windsor's manipulations in the wartime Bahamas; Maximum City, a New York biography that set out to find the foundations and history of the city's charm; and The Drownin', which was the first comprehensive study of what the Scorsese generation did
