Skin Stealer

Skin Stealer

Have you ever had a run of bad luck? Like being in a plane crash, visiting the Between-Worlds Hotel between life and death, or being chased by the Skin Stealer whilst on a mission to save the planet?

Welcome to the world of Private Investigator Jon Darke.

36-year-old Jon survives a plane crash in which his wife and son die. No one seems to know about the other survivor he saw walking unharmed from the blazing wreckage. The girl’s name is Anika Smith, and she’s very special. Something in the place between life and death wants her dead. Jon must keep her alive, but first he has to find her.

Jon finds himself in the mysterious Between-Worlds Hotel, where he tries to follow his wife and young son but is returned to life with a simple mission – find Anika before the Skin Stealer gets her. Devastated, Jon finds his way to the village of Wormhole, where he’s befriended by the feisty and impatient Reverend Beth Cromer. Soon after, Beth finds parish councillor Major Howard Chambers’ body in her cemetery. His skin is discovered underneath the skinless body of a young female in an abandoned warehouse in central London.

It’s not long before Jon and Beth find themselves following a trail of clues, gruesome deaths, ancient spirits and hellfire that will lead them to a Secret City deep under London’s streets in the search for Anika Smith, but the Skin Stealer is close behind...
