Skin is the fourth novel in the Jack Caffery series by Mo Hayder.
Jack and Flea investigate an apparent suicide which may be something far more sinister.
Tropes:
- Creepy Souvenir: Georges Gerber makes a habit of removing skin from his patients and keeping it in glass jars.
- Mad Doctor: While he doesn't have the title of "Doctor" because he is a UK surgeon, Georges Gerber is nonetheless a medical professional who collects skin from his patients and keeps it in jars.
- Never Suicide: The apparent suicide turns out to have been the murder of a patient who knew too much.
- Tampering with Food and Drink: When confronted by Jack, Georges Gerber tries to serve him a poisoned beverage.
- Unresolved Sexual Tension: Flea harbours hopes of a more-than professional relationship with Jack.
