Stronger Than Skin

Stronger Than Skin

by StephenMay (Author)

Synopsis

Mark Chadwick is cycling home from work, eager to get back to his pregnant wife Katy and two children, when he sees the police calling at his house. He knows exactly why they are there and he knows that the world he has carefully constructed over twenty very deliberately uneventful years is about to fall apart. He could lose everything. A story of a toxic love gone wrong, with a setting that moves easily between present day London and 1990s Cambridge, Stronger Than Skin is compulsively readable, combining a gripping narrative with a keen eye for the absurdities of the way we live now.

Media Reviews
'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. '-Monique Roffey - author of The White Woman With The Green Bicycle;'A gripping tale with a well designed plot and great twists. A definite page-turner.'-Jess Richards;'Full of warmth with a dark, complex heart.'-Emma Unsworth;'The story hooks you in lightly, and then takes a grip; a proper page-turner to the last. '-Rachel Seiffert - author of The Dark Room; '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
