Mark Chadwick is cycling home, eager to get back to his family, when he sees the police calling at his house.

Mark cycles on - he knows why they're there. The secrets he has buried for twenty years are coming to confront him.

Unless he can stay out of sight long enough to persuade his former lover to retract her confession to murder, Mark is going away for a very long time.

Reviews

'From the first hook on page four, the reader is held in the grip of a pacy, clever plot which drip-feeds revelations to keep the pages of this literary thriller turning. Excellent stuff.'

* The Daily Mail *

'An unsettling, character-driven page-turner which is also a love story. Another great insight into the male psyche. I read this in a day.'

'Gripping from the first page, this addictive tale of toxic love gone wrong will have you cancelling your plans for the rest of the week.'

* Sunday Mirror *

'Stronger than Skin is a sexy and compelling love story. Bold in its conception, enchanting with its characters, this book delivers fresh insights into the affairs of the heart, and grips the reader right until its twisted end. '

'A gripping tale with a well designed plot and great twists. A definite page-turner.'

'Full of warmth with a dark, complex heart.'

'The story hooks you in lightly, and then takes a grip; a proper page-turner to the last. '

'It's his unique blend of cynicism, humour and tenderness - because there is real heart there - which leads to the touching and unusual interactions which are such a strength of Stronger than Skin. '
