Street

Police efforts are minimal after a killer attacks young women in Seattle, abandoning their bodies in the weeds, and in the end, only the street people may care enough to stop the murderer.

From Booklist: "A demon is killing young women in Seattle – a demon disguised as a man. And the only ones who can recognize it are a group of street people who gradually become aware of the horror in the midst of their world. Their painfully constructed, marginal security shatters as the demon comes closer and closer to their neighborhood. In the end, their gallant efforts can only approach success, offering a doubly sanguine view of the modern world. Cady's eerie vision of life will haunt readers for a long time. His insight into the pain and the strangenesses that inform modern living will leave them shaken and a little more cautious when looking at everyday life."
