In her eerie and hair-raising thriller Skin, Mo Hayder trails her
two unforgettable protagonists as they race to staunch a rising
tide of blood in a sweltering port town. When the decomposing body
of a young woman is found, the wounds on her wrists suggest an
open-and-shut case of suicide. But Jack Caffery is not so sure.
Other apparent suicides are cropping up, and they all have a
connection to Elf's Grotto, a nearly bottomless network of flooded
quarries just outside the city. Caffery begins to suspect a shadowy
and sinister predator, someone--or something-- that can disappear
into darkness and slip into houses unseen. Working alongside
Caffery is rough-and-tough police diver Flea Marley, but while
pursuing her investigation, she stumbles upon something far too
close to home that no one--not even Caffery--can help her face.
Skin is a penetrating dissection of family, friendships, and the
evil that can tear them apart--or bind them together. Devious and
disturbing, it introduces one of Hayder's most horrifying villains
yet.
