Running on Instinct

Mary would do anything to get away from him. Trouble is, he lives in her dreams. He is the Selector - sent to cull the herd of humanity, selecting who lives and who dies - a murderer with no conscience, no remorse, no flaws, and no flesh...a phantom from her nightmares. Penny is eight months pregnant and barely able to get around, but she can't shake the feeling that she must get away before it's too late. Her husband thinks she is crazy until their next door neighbour takes out a rifle. April has a major crush on Gavin; unfortunately he likes her cousin Bethany. But April becomes his only hope for escape from the policeman who frames him for Bethany's murder. Pete may only be twelve, but he has got a dangerous temper, the kind that seethes and burns beneath an icy exterior, waiting to be unleashed. When someone kills his best friend, he plots a vicious revenge. Four seemingly seperate lives, each torn apart by violence and danger, inexorably drawn together by fate and circumstance. Unless they can unravel the mystery of a barely remembered nursery rhyme, they'll have little chance to survive.
