"Christie tried to turn over and found she was in a tight enclosed space. Terrified, she imagined a coffin, a box buried deeply under the earth. This was how she was going to die. Not by the knife of Stephen Scott after all. Instead, suffocated to death in a box underground, where no one would ever find her."

Book Reporter Review: "Another chiller psycho-thriller from Clarey. Fast paced, Skinned takes the reader on a hunt for human traffickers in Maine. Forensic psychologist Dr. Christie McMorrow returns, as does her evil nemesis, Stephen Scott. This is an excellent read."

Forensic psychologist Christie McMorrow and detective Bill Drummond investigate the grisly murders of three young girls. They discover human traffickers operating a child prostitution ring. Suspecting collusion among the traffickers and law enforcement authorities, Christie and Bill face killer dogs, crooked cops, body parts thieves, and a sociopathic butcher in their search for evidence to indict the conspirators.

Stephen Scott, a psychopathic killer, brings their search to a horrifying end. Bill fights for his sanity. Christie fights for her soul as she struggles to recover from the tortuous post-traumatic consequences of Scott's return.
