Product Description
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.

Life's tough for Detective David Silver. His marriage is crumbling, a serial killer's on the loose, and his new partner looks like a seven-foot stingray and smells like fresh limes. But when a murder case leads to a frightening conspiracy, Silver needs all the help he can get--even from an alien. Reissue.

This review is from: Alien Blues (Paperback)
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. Elaki are advising in various fields from politics to business to agriculture and some humans feel they are crowding people out of these areas. 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. Thus begins an investiagtion that leads into evidence of a criminal conspiracy involving Elaki and humans. Hightower has assembled a thrilling suspense story featuring realistic human cops and truly alien aliens.
