Instinct Linda Lanterman

Instinct deep in the human psyche surfaces when a predator strikes. A psychopath selects soft targets and begins slowly. When he widens his field from elderly women to include younger ones, women on the Hawaii's Big Island react. Collective action, made tangible by the Kona women's competitive paddling teams, inspires the victims' plot. A few wise men wait and watcdh and piece together the drama. The women didn't start this action. They defended against it. When does defensive collaboration become entrapment? Should they have waited for a murder? Was there a murder they missed, a victim they couldn't save?
