Cedar Valley Lydia Stewart

Overpopulation threatens the survival of the human race. Desperate for a solution, a drastic law is being enforced-at the age of twenty-five, all citizens are required to kill their parents and assume their role in society. For most, coming to grips with murdering their own parents is a life-long struggle, but for Ari it is an awakening; killing is exactly what he was born to do. Driven by his darkest desires, he sets out on a messy killing spree that terrorizes the city of Cedar Valley. To catch this killer, the police assemble a task force; its youngest member is Peter. One year shy of his twenty-fifth birthday, he must decide between bringing the killer to justice and breaking the law himself to save his parents. Little does he know, his choice will set in motion a series of horrific and tangled events.
