What would you do if you had knowledge that a mass-murder was going to take place? Would you do nothing and allow scores of children to be killed? Or, would you take action, and by doing so put yourself in jeopardy of being charged with murder? That is the dilemma of the protagonist of this novel. We will see what he does and its ramifications. The story also explores society's over-exposure to wanton violence and how it can affect children. This violence is in the movies, on TV and on the internet. Combine that with the ease of obtaining weapons of mass murder and the results are catastrophic.
