The return of DI Jack Caffery

The last book to feature DI Jack Caffery and also introduced Police Diver Flea Marley was Ritual and was the first of what Mo Hayder is calling The Walking Man series. The latest book to feature these two characters is Skin and is due to be published on 26 March 2009.

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. Police Diver Flea Marley is working alongside Caffery. Having come to terms with the loss of her parents, and with the traumas of her past safely behind her, she's beginning to wonder whether their relationship could go beyond the professional. And then she finds something that changes everything. Not only is it far too close to home for comfort - but it's so horrifying that she knows that nothing will ever be the same again. And that this time, no one - not even Caffery - can help her.Mo Hayder is due to go on a publicity schedule to promote Skin. The schedule is as follows:-
