Mark Chadwick is cycling home from work eager to get back to his pregnant wife Katy and two children when he sees the police calling at his house. He knows exactly why they are there and he knows that the world he has carefully constructed over twenty deliberately uneventful years is about to fall apart. He could lose everything ... A story of a toxic love gone wrong with a setting that moves between present-day London and 1990s Cambridge Stronger than Skin is utterly compelling combining a gripping narrative with a keen eye for the absurdities of the way we live now.
