''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.〔(Business Spectator report on Mark Burrows )〕 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, HRH Princess Haya bint al-Hussein (daughter of Hussein of Jordan), Erica Jong, Colleen McCullough, Gene Simmons of Kiss, and others. == Critical response == In her review of the book, Australian author Tegan Bennett described Gambotto as "one of the most exciting writers and interviewers it has ever been my luck to read," and "the MENSA mannequin, a shit-stirrer, a show-off, a fearless, funny, beautiful woman who never sticks to the rules." Above all else, Bennett concludes, Gambotto "seems to value honesty, which is why Warwick and Joanne Capper are treated with such affection."〔"Cutting the Cackle", by Tegan Bennett, ''The Weekend Australian'', 13–14 September 1997.〕 In ''The Age'', Australian author Fiona Capp was more critical, concluding that Gambotto is "a perfect pussycat with those she admires", although she felt that Gambotto's other subjects "often do half the job of damning themselves."〔"Paperbacks," by Fiona Capp, ''The Age'', 23 August 1997.〕
