An Instinct for the Kill (ISBN 0-7322-5891-X) is the second of Antonella Gambotto-Burke's books and her second anthology. It was dedicated to investment banker Mark Burrows.[1] In his introduction to the book, Edward de Bono writes: "Antonella is not afraid of words, ideas, her own opinions or the opinions of others. Perception is personal so truth is also personal. This is much more like Protagoras than like Plato. For Protagoras, perception was the only truth – but it was changeable. For Plato, the fascist, truth was what you had reached when you thought it was the absolute."
An Instinct for the Kill also features interviews with Tori Amos, Jeffrey Archer, Flavio Briatore and the Benetton Formula One team, Deepak Chopra, Jerry Hall, Charlton Heston, Princess Haya bint al-Hussein (daughter of Hussein of Jordan), Erica Jong, Colleen McCullough, Gene Simmons of Kiss, and others.
