M Khattou

Mostafa Khattou is a freelance translator and interpreter working with English, French, and Arabic. Based in Montpellier, France, he holds an MA in Applied Languages and has always been fascinated by unusual true stories and the unexpected patterns in human behavior.

When not helping others bridge language barriers, Mostafa can be found researching bizarre historical cases and wondering what makes people capable of extraordinary deceptions. His discovery of Fred Brito's forty-year con led him down a rabbit hole of court documents and FBI files that he couldn't resist sharing with readers.

Borrowed Lives is his first book, combining his love of true crime with his eye for stories that challenge our assumptions about identity and truth.
