SOMEONE ELSE’S SKIN
Book ID/图书代码： 05430013B60122
English Summary/英文概要： The first in a proposed series, this introduces DI Marnie Rome as a complex heroine with a tragic past and a unique insight into domestic violence, and murder.
Stephen Keele, her teenage foster brother, is serving a sentence for double murder. Marnie doesn’t know why he killed her parents when he was fourteen, but she can’t stop visiting him in prison until she finds out. And he can’t stop baiting her when she does.
Leo Proctor, Hope’s husband, has a punctured lung and a boxer’s fracture in his right fist. Marnie doesn’t know why he took a knife to the refuge where his wife was hiding, but she’s not in the mood to take prisoners. And both Hope and Leo know it.
SOMEONE ELSE’S SKIN, with its startling twist midway through, explores the darkest corners of family life and asks, what is the legacy of abuse? How far might someone go to escape it? And what if the person you’re escaping isn’t someone else at all. What if it’s you?
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 本书为该推荐系列的第一部，DI•玛尼•罗姆作为书中复杂的女主角，不仅拥有一段悲剧的过往，同时有着对于家庭暴力和谋杀的深入洞见。
史蒂芬•基乐是玛尼家收养的孩子，正值青春期的他目前正在服刑----被判有双项谋杀罪。玛尼不明白为何这名少年要在14岁那年杀害了自己的亲生父母，她情不自禁地想要去探监，直到自己最终弄清这一切。而每当玛尼前去探视时，少年也总是不能自抑地想要引诱她进入他的世界。
里奥•普罗科特是霍普的丈夫，患有肺穿孔，且右拳患有拳击家掌骨骨折。玛尼不明白为何他要带着一把刀进入他妻子所躲藏的那个避难处，然而里奥和霍普却都对此心知肚明。
《另类皮囊》，全篇高潮跌宕起伏，它探索的是家庭生活的最最阴暗面，它探讨的是虐打背后的价值。当一个人想要逃避时，他到底能够逃多远？而如果你要逃避的那个人不是别人，而正是你自己，你又将何去何从？（DC）
