Lucy Guardino runs the FBI’s Sexual Assault team.

Until the day she comes up against a predator more vicious and cunning than any she’s ever tackled, one who could force Lucy to choose between the young victim and her own daughter…

As the situation threatens to spiral out of control, can Lucy outsmart the killer before it’s too late? Can she hold it together in the face of organised crime and, worse, betrayal?

Snake Skin is the first novel in the Lucy Guardino series. If you enjoy edge-of-your-seat suspense, strong characters and an electrifying pace, then you’ll love this adrenaline rush of a thriller.
