Under Your Skin

This morning, I found a body. Soon the police will arrest me for murder. And after that, my life will fall apart.

Gaby Mortimer is the woman who has it all. But everything changes when she finds a body on the common near her home.

Because the evidence keeps leading back to her.

And the police seem sure she's guilty.

Under Your Skin is an unpredictable, exquisitely twisty story, which proves that there are only three rules in life that mean anything:

Assume nothing.

Believe no one.

Check everything.
