Taking Life

A serial killer is stalking the patients in a San Francisco hospital. Michael, the centuries old immortal son of a Welsh goddess, is the prime suspect. While working on her masters thesis, a young woman has uncovered Michael's secret past. Her discovery has fallen into the hands of a blackmailer who is prepared to expose Michael unless he is given the secret to eternal life. Only time will tell who is trying to frame Michael for murder as past and present collide. What do an apartment manager who speaks in haiku verse, a graduate student who has stumbled upon an interesting man with an unusual past, and a blind street corner oracle who tells frighteningly accurate fortunes all have in common? They are all characters in the exciting new novel Taking Life by Rod Rhimes.
