Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
YA--Silence of the Lambs meets Alien Nation . Homicide detective David Silver and his partner are teamed up with an alien law enforcement officer to track down ``Machete Man,'' a seemingly random serial killer who mutilates his victims and then masturbates on them. Setting, language, description, and awareness of detail bring this evocative story to life. Characters are well developed and interesting; even minor figures have a life of their own.

In the future, an alien race called the Elaki have arrived on Earth. They bring with them advanced technology that allows them to develop solutions to some of mankind's problems such as mental illness. There are some problems as well.

Meanwhile, in Saigo City, a serial killer dubbed 'Machete Man' by the press is on the rampage. The grisly killings have SCPD detectives David Silver and Mel Burnett looking for any clue they can find. When a elderly woman manages to escape the Machete Man's clutches Silver and Burnett make their way to the crime scene, only to find they've been assigned an Elaki adviser known as String.
