Police detective Harry Lyon is a perfectionist. To his dismay, his partner, Connie Gulliver, embraces chaos, urging him to "get in touch with the rhythms of destruction." When Harry and Connie have to kill in the line of duty, the ensuing surreal nightmare makes Connie's cynical world view seem all too accurate. That afternoon, a hulking street person prophesies that Harry will be dead by dawn, then self-destructs before his eyes. As twilight falls, Harry glimpses strange creatures in the shadows, and finds his rational world transformed into a place of bizarre surprises and unimaginable dangers. As dawn ticks closer, Harry is caught in a whirlwind of terror that threatens to sweep away not only him, but Connie and everyone he loves.
1993. A little bit older but well worth it. Like some of his books it goes back and forth from character to character only to relate them together in the end.
