A Jack Caffrey thriller from "easily today's best writer of visceral and elemental horror... guaranteed to creep out even the strongest of heart." (Booklist, starred review)

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.

"Hayder is not a subdued writer. Her characters are almost as chilling as the horrors that they are investigating." -- The Times (London)
