Emergent

Set in the near future, six ordinary people around the world, each living their own lives, are all directly linked to a brutal murder that happens in New York.

But … just how ordinary could these individuals be if they are all connected, even if they are unaware of the fact?

Unaware … of the truth.

As each person lives their life - some with the most mundane of routines, others with ambition wanting more - they slowly learn and discover that they are not as ordinary as they once thought. They change and grow, leaving who they were behind to become their future selves. Each seeking a better life, optimistic and hopeful, they do what they can to make a better world.

This novel is not a murder mystery to be solved,

but there is a mystery at the heart of it.

It is not a crime nor a detective novel,

although there is a hard-working detective in it.

It is not a romance, but people - not always wisely - do fall in love.

There is no hero, but they do all go on a journey.

Life is change, and we often cannot plan where we will end up.

Fate? Luck? Sometimes random chance determines everything.

Sometimes the unknown causes an unexpected result.

An emergent result.
