To make matters worse, two brutal murders and allegations about Skinner himself make simultaneous headlines. As the clock runs out, Skinner faces the greatest test of his career.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great book in a great series!,
This review is from: Skinner's Ghosts (Hardcover)
DCC Robert Morgan Skinner finds himself in the middle of a comprehensive plot against him when a personal friend is brutally raped and murdered while her son is kidnapped. This is just the beginning of a series of destructive events put in place by someone to destroy Skinner. Skinner is vulnerable at this point, separated from his wife Sarah. While she and his son are in USA, he has a relationship with another woman. This relatonship is just one of many mistakes Skinner makes during the hard times. This book more than any of the others in the Skinner series exhibits flaws in the super hero DCC, and it is a great read.
