A thriller. DI Jack Caffrey of Bristol's Major Crime Investigation Unit and the Police underwater search unit is on the case. Lead Sergeant Flea is diving Elf's Grotto. They are searching for the body of a missing celebrity wife who escaped from rehab. They find instead a mutilated pet. This novel is a twisted skein of false starts, apparent suicides, and a family problem that sets Flea spinning. To add to the thrills, Hayder throws in a particularly dark figure, a surgeon obsessed with collecting the skin of female patients. Their paths converge in a shocking ending. Excellent thriller.
