Agent Tessa Lancing believed she knew all about death – until she met Death itself. Tessa has one last chance to prove herself to her employer, a disavowed secretive agency, or face literal termination, and she's desperate to do what she must to succeed. When assigned to a doomed mission already littered with dead bodies, she drags Jack de Sombras, an accused traitor who's also her old partner and unrequited love, out of his self-made tomb and back into the field. By teaming up with Jack, she expects to make quick work of the situation. She's wrong. In addition to a mission gone sideways, they know they face potential assassins, a modern-day corrupt sheriff, and an ancient unspeakable terror. They are up against something more powerful than they could imagine and far more sadistic than they could have guessed. With an ancient evil and Death itself after them, can they survive their last mission together? The Skin Thief is an enthralling paranormal thriller set in the haunted canyons of Southwest Colorado. If you like ancient secrets, terrifying ghosts, and nail-biting action, then you'll love T.E. MacArthur's gripping novel of thrills, betrayal, and hopeless desires. From the charmingly deranged mind of author T.E. MacArthur, creator of the steampunk Volcano Lady and Gaslight Adventures of Tom Turner series, and The Lou Tanner Mystery: A Place of Fog and Murder.
