Hannah, a wife and mother, begins an affair with a darkly charismatic stranger; Mikey, a young street hustler, finds himself on an unexpected mission to rectify injustice; and then there's the child serial killer known as Babysitter, an enigmatic and elusive figure at the periphery of elite Detroit, who has always been impossible to identify and immune to retribution. As Babysitter continues to strike-sending the city and its surroundings into pandemonium-these characters intersect, jeopardize one another, and are pushed to their limits. Suspenseful, brilliant, and wholly engrossing, Babysitter asks what we would risk for a chance at a new life, and how to protect all we cherish most. A scathing indictment of the corrupt politics, unexamined racism, and sexual predation in America, Babysitter is a thrilling novel and an absolute force"-- |cProvided by publisher. 650 0 Missing children |vFiction. |=^A630331 650 0 Kidnapping |vFiction. |=^A415581 650 0 Adultery |vFiction. |=^A444932 650 0 Serial murderers |vFiction. |=^A611520 650 0 Nineteen seventies |vFiction. |=^A1012727 650 0 Suburbs |zMichigan |zDetroit |vFiction. |=^A32171 651 0 Detroit (Mich.) |vFiction. |=^A524505 650 7 FICTION / Thrillers / Domestic. |2bisacsh 650 7 FICTION / Thrillers / Psychological. |2bisacsh 655 0 Suspense fiction. |=^A522352 655 7 Novels. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01921742 655 7 Domestic fiction. |2gsafd 655 7 Psychological fiction. |2gsafd 655 7 Historical fiction. |2gsafd 655 7 Thrillers (Fiction) |2gsafd 655 7 Thrillers (Fiction) |2lcgft 655 7 Domestic fiction. |2lcgft 655 7 Psychological fiction. |2lcgft 655 7 Historical fiction. |2lcgft 655 7 Novels. |2lcgft 655 7 Romans. |2rvmgf 949 |i30372017351849 |ojjlm 960 |o1 |s30.00 |tJoyner48 |uJAPP |zUSD 596 1 998 5938520
