Skin takes place the week after the conclusion of Operation Norway and DI Jack Caffrey can’t seem to let the case go. He’s convinced there’s someone – something - they missed. Jack thinks Sergeant Flea Marley knows it too but she’s got her own problems and so has the force. Footballer’s wife Misty Kitson has gone missing. She was in rehab and now she’s dropped off the map completely. Jack’s boss wants him focused on the high profile case but Jack has zeroed in on a rash of apparent suicides that he suspects are something else entirely.
In the meantime Flea is acting strangely, spending time in her garage, running up a massive electricity bill, turning up at crime scenes when she’s supposed to be sick, fighting with her weasel of a brother and his scary girlfriend.
Jack’s got himself into a hole, literally and Flea is about to put her talents to a use they were never designed for. Hayder’s given us a police procedural with plenty of twists, turns, cover-ups and a callous betrayal that could reduce Flea’s family obligations to nil. Can’t wait for the next in the series.
