This seems like an impossible task, so i'm asking the help of 4chan.I do not know the name of the book, or the Author. All I know is the story.The main character is a young boy who leaves his home because of his mother's (or older sister's) new partner. He begins to live on the street and adopts the street name 'Link'.He meets fellow homeless youth, 'Ginger', who teaches him the need to knows about living on th street. He also falls in love with a beautiful homeless girl.Whilst this is all going on, there is a Serial Killer on the lose. He pretends to run a sort of home care facility from his home, taking in people from the streets. He gives them a bath, fresh clothes and a warm meal before killing them and storing them under his floorboards. I remember one weird detail is that the man's appartment is on the bottom floor and he has the airconditioning running under his floorboards and this helps eliminate the smell ... or something.Ends up that Ginger is taken in by this man and Link realises it. With his new partner they race to try and save Ginger's life.The only other thing I remember is that the cover of the version I read consists of nothing more than blue shapes and shades.I read it in 2003/2004.If anyone can help me find this, I'd be really grateful. I've really wanted to read it again.Thanks :3
[bump]I really think 4chan is my last hope of finding this book XD
