The Times
TimesOnline publish the following 27 March 2009:
"If you've read Mo Hayder before, the title of her latest novel will scare you - and rightly. Human and animal bodies, minus their skin, are central to the story and, as usual, Hayder does not stint in describing gory details.
Skin is the fourth novel to feature DI Jack Caffery, the second since he moved from London to join the Major Crime Investigation Unit in Bristol. A young woman's decomposing corpse is found, seemingly a suicide; a famous footballer's wife goes missing. Sergeant Phoebe “Flea” Marley, a police diver, discovers a body that threatens her own precarious stability.
Hayder is not a subdued writer. Her characters are almost as chilling as the horrors that they are investigating. The inner demons of Caffery and Marley make the turmoils of Rankin's Rebus or Mankell's Wallender seem puny and adolescent.
But her exaggerations - of people and of shocking events - succeed because she writes and plots with such panache and reins in her excesses before they become totally absurd. Macabre, yes, but also absorbing and hugely entertaining." >original source |

 Skin
AVAILABLE NOW: The fourth book in the Jack Caffery series
When the decomposed body of a young woman is found by near railway tracks just outside Bristol one hot May morning, all indications are that she’s committed suicide. That’s how the police want it too; all neatly squared and tidied away.
But DI Jack Caffery is not so sure. He is on the trail of someone predatory, someone who hides in the shadows and can slip into houses unseen.
And for the first time in a very long time, he feels scared.
