A seven-year-old girl puts a nail-gun to her grandmother's neck and fires. An isolated incident, say the experts. The experts are wrong. Across the world, children are killing their families. Anthropologist Hesketh Lock has his own problems; but as more acts of child violence sweep the globe, he is forced to acknowledge possibilities that defy the rational principles on which he has staked his life, his career and, most devastatingly of all, his role as a father.

" This would have been 4 stars, but it kind of fell apart at the end. Two half-assed explanations...neither one quite fitting. Loved the main character, Hesketh. "
" BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRED! "
" the plot was predictable and it was a tough read...good idea...but really a disappointment "
" Lost interest after the first 3 chapters "
" I'll start by saying I love reading Liz Jenzen! She has carved out her own space with elements of fantasy, thriller, satire and science. Loved everyone of her eight novels and looking forward for the next. "
" Very creepy but imaginative story. "
" I was really disappointed in this book. It fell flat for me after having such an interesting premise. "
" One of the worst books I've read. I should have quit after the first page. While its message of human destruction of the earth is important, the book takes a long time with a silly plot and a heavy-handed approach to make the point. "
" Page turner! HesKeth, an investigator with Asperger's syndrome, spots behaviorial patterns as children around the globe kill family members "
" I would have given this 3.5 stars if that was an option. Good, suspenseful, mildly dystopian fiction with an interesting premise. "
" great premise, fantastic writer, had me hooked and then lost me in the last chapter. "
